Description
Transformational Preaching offers a challenging look at all aspects of the preaching ministry, and seeks to reclaim the pulpit for biblical preaching by counteracting today's popular "teaching" methodology. Written from an "open evangelical," inclusive position, and drawing upon his international preaching and teaching experience, author David Brown contextualizes preaching in pastoral ministry and congregational worship, and argues that the practice of preaching must be informed and driven by theory. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, Brown argues that preaching must be persuasive rather than informative, that the preacher is central to the act of preaching, that biblical preaching implies the proclamation of a single truth from a single text, and that both the note-less preacher and engaged listener together create meaning from within the preaching event. The book's wealth of practical guidelines for every step of the sermon's development, from idea to pulpit, encourages students first to understand general principles and then to apply those principles to their own contexts of ministry.
