Preaching
by Fred B. Craddock
On This Page
Description
A standard textbook on the art and craft of preaching. Craddock weaves history, theology, and hermeneutics into an exhaustive text on sermon preparation and preaching. Painstakingly prepared for seminary students and clergy, this book answers the fundamental question: How does one prepare and deliver a sermon? Craddock's approach is practical, but also allows for concentrated study of any particular dimension of the process. "Filled with practical wisdom. . . . A liberating book."--Richard show more Lischer, Duke University. show lessTags

I think it is a very good book that brings together several voices: that of experience, practical wisdom, and a keen appreciation of the philosophical/theological questions involved.
This is a dull book. Some of the paragraphs are ghastly long. Just make sure you are good and awake when you crack it open.
One of the best volumes on the subject available. This book set the standard for others.
