Preaching - Softcover
This essential book on preaching covers all aspects of its topic: rationale, nature, context, preparation, and delivery. "Preaching is concerned with the preacher, the message, and the methodology," explains author James W. Cox, "and with the factors determining success over which the preacher has control." Drawing upon the Bible, theology, church history, classic preaching insights, and current theories of communication, Cox offers the clearest view of what will best help a preacher develop to the fullest his or her preaching skills. Preaching examines the nature of preaching and "the different ways in which the power of the Word of God comes to expression today"; it considers in detail the sermon in light of proclamation, witness, teaching, and prophesying. Cox discusses sources of the preacher's authority; the importance of the work of the pulpit in these times; and ways in which those who preach can make the gospel message "meaningful for the present" by properly understanding the sermon's cultural context, to assure that "preaching is as old as the truth it proclaims and as modern as the day it is done." Preaching also defines the place of the sermon in the service of worship; the preacher's personality in light of his or her spiritual formation, effectiveness in ministry, and the conviction and compassion that authoritative preaching requires; structural and stylistic elements in sermon building; the selection of appropriate texts and guidelines for responsible biblical interpretation; the use of voice and body in effective preaching; the ethics of persuasion; the preacher's role as communicator; and much more.
