Overview

On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons is an enormously popular homiletics textbook, and has been in print for more than 100 years. It is as helpful today as the day it was written. The Handbook of Contemporary Preaching notes that it "is the most widely used text on preaching ever published; more than a century later, it is still used in many colleges and seminaries."

John Albert Broadus was a master of clarity in communication and sympathy with his audience. You will discover not only his instructions for effective preaching but also be challenged by his call to faithfulness in preaching ministry.
