An enthralling introduction to the art of preaching, or more specifically, how to tell the story. This delightful book is an excellent teaching resource and learning tool for all pastors from beginning students to seasoned pulpiteers.

Scott Gibson and Matthew Kim, both experienced preachers and teachers, have brought together four preaching experts--Bryan Chapell, Kenneth Langley, Abraham Kuruvilla, and Paul Scott Wilson--to present and defend their approaches to homiletics. Reflecting current streams of thought in homiletics, the book offers a robust discussion of theological and hermeneutical approaches to preaching and encourages pastors and ministry students to learn about preaching from other theological traditions. It also includes discussion questions for direct application to one's preaching.

Preaching and Homiletical Theory looks at what is new in homiletical theory that can enhance preaching, how preaching can enliven homiletical theory, and how this interdisciplinary conversation can strengthen the practice of ministry.
