Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present-Day Preaching This book is the outcome of a request to deliver a course of lectures on Preaching at Berkeley Divinity School. Men who believe in preaching as one of the great forces in the world cannot be timid about multiplying hand-books. This is not a formal treatise, but the frank account of what a reasonably varied experience shows to be the practical requirements of preaching at this particular time. As lectures these chapters were addressed to young men expecting to preach. One reason for allowing them to be printed is the hope that a sympathetic layman here and there, who cares for the Church, may have patience to read them. It would be a satisfaction to think that they might be helping any who sit in the pews to see what we who preach are trying to do.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present Day Preaching: Sermons It is interesting to observe the different, and in some cases apparently opposite, ways in which Christ deals with disciples of different tempers, histories, vocations. In this morning scene on the lake shore. He brings into view, by a prophetic word, the tragic martyrdom awaiting Peter, the chief of the Apostles, but not a single word will He breathe to suggest John's future career, be it of service or of pain. And this is not caprice. There are well-weighed reasons, some of them quite obvious, for the varying and apparently contradictory method of dealing with the two men. The forecast of Peter's future is vouchsafed unasked and for very important ends. The gift of prophecy must never be used to satisfy an idle curiosity, and the question about John had an element of that sort in it. At first sight it might not seem to be quite true to nature to represent Peter as the subject of this temper in a moment of such tragic interest, when his own pathetic future had just come flashing into view; but men and women, in extreme pain, often show a keen interest in the affairs of their friends. We have all met with sufferers of estimable character who have welcomed every little bit of romance from the countryside that could be taken to their bedsides. Perhaps the romance may have helped them to forget for the time their own terrible lot. By busying himself with the events in the unopened chapters of John's life, Peter may have been seeking relief from the strain to which his feelings must have been put at receiving this hint about the last dark scene of his own life. His curiosity was kindly and well meant, but curiosity implies a defect somewhere or other in the quality of our faith, and we always tempt the Lord when we indulge a spirit of restless inquisitiveness. It would, moreover, have brought the restored Peter into a new temptation to have answered the question he put. It must have tended to revive the old rivalry between himself and the favored son of Zebedee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

True, paganism has lost none of its sullen resistance to the truth; and popery is what it was in the days Of its Gregorys and Johns; and Islamism is what it was in the days Of its Omars but the spirit Of might has departed from them all, and the ways Of access to their swarming millions are Open; and we now, more than ever, need an earnest ministry to lead on the Church to enter these ways and to occupy the land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preparing to Preach This volume is not intended as a comprehensive treat ment of the subject of homiletics, and much is necessarily omitted which should be considered by those who are preparing to preach. I have endeavored, however, to cover the ground which is traversed in the preparation and delivery of the ordinary sermon - the staple of the preacher' s pulpit work. I have profited by certain criticisms which intelligent Christian laymen sometimes pass upon the methods and manners of certain preachers and have included some sug gestions which are generally omitted from similar publi cations, such as those which will be found under The Attack Upon the Text, Pulpit Manners, and elsewhere. It is my sincere prayer that the book may be helpful to my brethren in the ministry, especially to those for whose sake it has been more particularly prepared, as indicated in the title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermon Reading Van Oosterzee, in his Practice of Theology, complains that the History of the Art of Preaching is only for too many "terra Incognita," but allows validity to the excuse that there is yet wanting a good history of the Art. Furthermore, the exceeding meagerness, in all Church annals, of reference to that institution, dignified and emphasized by the final command of Christ to his Disciples, is like a surprise, disappointment and mystery to the student of Christian history. Therefore, the task of presenting any historic phase of this subject is not an easy one. Hence, I bespeak the forbearing consideration of my readers in this attempt in a brief and imperfect way to tell whence and how the practice of sermons in the pulpit has come to be so familiar with us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Modern Preachers The preachers before us differ widely from each other as representatives of the preaching of the last century. Each in his own way represents some im portant interest, meets some real want, and is the product of some movement of thought or life, or some combination of movements, measurably manifest in the last century. Some of them are theologically and ecclesiastically reactionary, but not one of them is a complete anachronism, and there is none that fails to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Preaching The author of these Lectures stood in the very front rank of the preachers both of his country and his age. His first volume of Sermons, republished on this side of the Atlantic under the title of "The Day Dawn and the Rain," and originally issued in Edinburgh in 1869, as "Sermons by Rev. John Ker," is now in its thirteenth edition in Great Britain, and has attracted the attention and called forth the commendation of the best critics. The discourses which it contains are characterized by originality of thought, simplicity of style, and a certain quiet power that carries conviction without any straining after effect. His lines of method are all natural without being obvious, and his movement along these is always singularly easy and delightful. The same qualities distinguish his second volume, which, though published after his death in 1886, is a worthy companion of the first, and has already taken its place among the homiletic models of our times. For many years before his death a nervous break-down in health incapacitated him for regular pulpit work.

Download or read book Great Modern Preachers Classic Reprint written by Alexander Maclaren and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Modern Preachers The Baptist Church has been able to boast of many eminent preachers. It is partly to be accounted for, perhaps, through the intensity of conviction which is generally to be associated with the religious life and opinions of the Baptist people. They have less than other religious sects, taken up with their profession from any Slight preferences which may have been conceived for some interesting phase of truth. What they hold, they hold with the firm grasp of the Whole mind. From the time of their earliest history as a separate and recognised religious community, they have been known for their tenacious reverence for the Opinions which they have professed. Let the fact cover a large Space; it is fair to say that such tenacity of conviction will materially contribute to the production of unusual pulpit power. Far fewer in numbers, they have yet greatly sur passed the Wesleyan Methodist Church in this respect. They have had in their pulpits some of the ablest preachers of this century. Robert Hall has, perhaps, had no equal in it in respect of What may be called, with a Special signification, pulpit eloquence. The whole religious world has heard of him; and to any person who has ever had the slightest conception of the relation of this eloquent man to the preaching of his time, it is a pleasure to meet with any one who used to listen to his sermons in the towns which are associated with his memory. He was a remarkable pulpit phenomenon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and Preaching It would be impossible too strongly to express my sense of the honour which this University has conferred upon me in inviting me to deliver these lectures here. The lectures themselves must be my attempt at acknowledgment, and I am deeply conscious how inadequately that attempt has been achieved. Yet it comforts me to remember that I shall not speak as a stranger among you, but as one of yourselves, and that your judgment will be accordingly tempered. I shall never forget the Graduation Day of 1917. I had come to you from the front in Flanders, and from a long tour of lecturing on the subject of the war in the Middle West and in the Southern States of America. I had seen your great nation passing through the most critical and the most fateful hour of all its history. It seemed to me that day, when through your graciousness I sat among you as a graduate of Yale, that I felt the mighty heart-throb with which America rose and plunged into the most stupendous war of history. And in that hour I was not only among you, I was one of you, - et ego in Arcadia, - and the heartthrob was within my own breast as it was in yours. When one remembers that more than forty courses of these lectures have already been delivered and published, it would seem that there can be nothing left to say. Yet I take it that the thing which you mainly desire is the result of the lecturer's own experience, what he personally has found preaching to be. Each man sees and faces the world anew, and finds something in it for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
