Teaching preaching, and preaching to people-- "Carl's book is one
of those very few books that can also give birth to a love for
preaching among students and even stir up some flames from those
burned out in the parish. . . .Far from being merely dazzled by the
author's erudition, the reader becomes aware of, and is placed
within, a vast cloud of witnesses who have sought to proclaim the
faith of the church. The experience is empowering, energizing, and
exciting." --Homiletic "This book's strength is in its
comprehensiveness; it incorporates a theology of preaching and a
concept of biblical and liturgical preaching as inherent to the
preaching of theology. . . . Carl brings the best of both seminary
and parish to this volume." --Word & World "This is a
be-sure-you-buy-it book if you're still trying to preach!" --Clergy
Journal William J. Carl III confronts the problem of using
theological language in preaching through a combination of serious
theological reflection, rhetorical criticism, cultural analysis,
and practical homiletical advice. He examines the approaches of
Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Barth, and Tillich to determine
how these theologians brought life to the pulpit and what today's
preachers can learn from them. Preaching Christian Doctrine
organizes and describes the various approaches to doctrinal
preaching developed throughout the history of the church and across
denominational lines, making this volume a unique systematic
homiletics text dealing with the problem of preaching Christian
doctrine today. William J. Carl III, President of Pittsburgh
Theological Seminary, was for twenty-two years Senior Pastor of
First Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas, and formerly taught
Homiletics, Worship, and New Testament Greek at Union Theological
Seminary in Virginia.
