Types of Preachers in the New Testament
Overview
A. T. Robertson delivered the Stone Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary, and this volume includes the original content of those lectures, revised and expanded. In these lectures, Robertson investigates the relationship between the Pharisees and Jesus not only as a subject of mere academic interest, but as an issue of vital importance that affects how one perceives the historic origins of Christianity.
Top Highlights
“A minister who has no sons in the gospel has failed in a large part of his work. It should be the policy of every preacher to pray and work for labourers for the harvest. A church that does not produce preachers is in reality a dying church without spiritual energy.” (Pages 149–150)
“Paul in his later years was to know Jesus, for Christ always eludes us just a bit. There is always more to learn about the unsearchable riches of Christ.” (Page 22)
“It is one of the blessings of life that men have different gifts. God can use them all. It would be a great misfortune if preachers were just alike in intellectual equipment and in style of speech.” (Page 24)
“They had each his own place and work, and each would receive his own reward from God as steward of the mysteries of God (4:1–5).” (Page 26)
“It is not possible to be powerful in the use of the Scriptures without an adequate knowledge of the books of Scripture” (Page 16)
