The Supremacy of God in Preaching, rev. ed.

by John Piper

Publisher:

Baker

, 2004

Overview

John Piper contends that preaching is not simply an exercise in motivational speaking. The goal of preaching is to worship God, and proclaim Him as Supreme. It is God’s desire to be glorified through the preacher, and the aim of the preacher is to respond accordingly. The Supremacy of God in Preaching is not another “how-to” guide for the pulpit ministry, but is a challenge issued toward every preacher to elevate the God of the Bible through sound Biblical preaching.

Praise for the Print Edition

Calls us back to a biblical standard for preaching, as standard exemplified by many of the pulpit giants of the past, especially Jonathan Edwards and Charles Spurgeon.

—Warren W. Wiersbe

Here’s a book that every preacher should read at least once a year. The book is a powerful antidote to the unbalanced, self-centered preaching of today.

—Erwin W. Lutzer, Senior Pastor, The Moody Church, Chicago
