Where do you start on writing a sermon? Unless beginners have been
exposed to good models of preaching, they are often unsure about
what to do and how to do it. This book is not meant to cover every
aspect of preaching. It is a manual for beginners, drawing on the
author's many years' experience both in training and in ministry.
Starting from the underlying principles, this book goes on to
analyse the process of preaching (discovering and digesting,
designing, defining and delivering) and then ways of assessing
progress. Each chapter begins with a selection of quotations -
sometimes amusing, always thought-provoking, which help engage the
reader in the issues. Many otherwise good books on preaching
concentrate on spelling out the principles, wrongly assuming that
the practice will then take care of itself. This is not just a
textbook on the theory, but a guidebook that gives plenty of detail
about the practice as well. By the time you finish it you should be
well on the way to behaving as every preacher should, instinctively
reaching out for the clearest, simplest ways of communicating the
Bible's message. Allan Chapple has pastored churches in Western
Australia and England, has taught at the Seminari Theoloji
Malaysia, and has served as Perth staffworker for the Australian
Fellowship of Evangelical Students. He was the founding Director of
the Perth Centre for Applied Christian Studies, and then founding
Principal of Trinity Theological College, where he now serves as
senior lecturer in New Testament.
