The Glory of Preaching: Participating in God's Transformation of the World

Overview

In these pages you will find a vision of preaching that is both illuminating and inspiring. Drawing from biblical and theological resources as well as years in the pulpit, Darrell Johnson takes us far beyond the mere mechanics of delivering sermons. He dynamically unpacks the link between the human task of speaking to a congregation and the real, gracious action and presence of the living Christ in and through our proclamation. Johnson assists preachers to profoundly engage the biblical text and then liberates them to make use of their own personality, gifts and abilities as they communicate that message. This book is for any pastor or student who wants to cultivate a deeper pulpit approach, one that participates in the transforming mystery of God working through our less-than-perfect proclamation. Here is a solid foundation for preaching the good news as if God was living, Jesus was resurrected and the Holy Spirit was faithfully at work among us.

About Darrell W. Johnson

Darrell Johnson joined the Regent College faculty in the fall of 2000 after serving nearly 30 years in pastoral ministry. In addition to serving a number of Presbyterian churches in California, he ministered in Manila, Philippines, during the tumultuous time known as the “People Power Revolution†where he saw firsthand how preaching can shape history. He has also taught at Fuller Theological Seminary in the Doctor of Ministry program, and just before coming to Regent was the seminary’s chapel director. Darrell believes that one of the greatest needs in our time is winsome and robust preaching that connects with both head and heart, and thus focuses his teaching at Regent on expository preaching. In addition, he teaches in the areas of biblical spirituality, worship and prayer. Since coming to Regent, he has authored six books, including Discipleship on the Edge: An Expository Journey through the Book of Revelation and The Glory of Preaching: Participating in the Divine Transformation of the World (forthcoming). Darrell and his wife, Sharon, have four adopted children from four different countries of the world, and two grandchildren.
