This comprehensive guide focuses on much more than the practicalities of preaching and will be welcomed by clergy, ordinands and lay preachers in all denominations. Part One considers the spiritual formation of preachers - by the Bible, by life's experience and by the Christian tradition, and outlines the many resources for study that may be tapped. Part Two explores the effects of the context in which preaching takes place - a congregation with known and unknown individuals, a given geographical and cultural setting, the wider world and current events, the type of service, the physical aspects of the building. Part Three examines various theologies of preaching and Part Four outlines different methodologies including using stories, preaching the lectionary and finding one's own voice. This resource complements two bestselling Canterbury Press titles - "Being a Priest Today" and "Being a Deacon Today"

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is an excellent read whether you are a novice preacher or have been giving sermons for years. Brown covers all the material you would expect, history, ideas from other thinkers, examples as well as personal experience, but the sum is more than the parts. She writes with enthusiasm for the subject and with grounded common sense. At its heart this book calls for a return to the art of rhetoric which gives a thread to follow through the sections. All in all this is a practical and reflective guide to the task of preparing and delivering sermons.
