When we study Scripture and prepare to preach, the questions we ask are important. And the right questions are not new. They're ancient, time-tested, trustworthy.
This October, The Path to the Pulpit: Four Ancient Questions for Faithful Preaching releases from
@BHAcademic.
@drandrewhebert and I wrote this book to strengthen and encourage preachers. Every week they tread an old path as they ascend to the pulpit. And there is help along this path--help that sounds like these questions:
1) What does the text mean?
2) How does the text show Christ?
3) How does the text apply to me?
4) How does the text give me hope?
The Path to the Pulpit is theological and practical. It engages hermeneutics and homiletics. It delves into church history to mine the riches of the saints on whose shoulders we stand.
Our goal was to offer a fresh treatment on the subject of faithful preaching. We were honored to receive strong endorsements from Robert Smith Jr, Richard Barcellos, Hershael York, Brandon Smith, Stephen Presley, Dustin Messer, Joel Lawrence, Joel Gregory, Daniel Dickard, Brian Arnold, and Joel Beeke.
Preaching is a glorious and sacred responsibility. We hope The Path to the Pulpit will increase your joy and confidence in proclaiming the Scriptures.
You can pre-order it right now. If you want to support the book's upcoming release, share this post so that awareness will spread.
Do you meet with a cohort of preachers and talk about the craft? Do you teach workshops on preaching? Do you teach courses on preaching? Are you looking for new material on the blending of hermeneutics and homiletics? We hope you'll consider including this book.
