Overview

In keeping with the purposes of The Master's Seminary, this volume aims toward the goal of motivating and equipping this and the next generation of Christian leaders to provide wholesome spiritual nourishment for God's people from His Word. Rediscovering Expository Preaching combines, a highly condensed form, all aspects of The Master's Seminary program, which is designed to shape men of God to proclaim the Word of God effectively, so that nonbelievers can be evangelized and believers can be equipped to do the work of ministry. Rediscovering Expository Preaching targets both the seasoned preacher and the student of preaching/teaching. It has also been written to help serious laymen in their ministry of the Word. Pastors without seminar training can profit from this volume, too, as can veteran pastors, who are continually seeking a higher level of expository excellence.

Top Highlights

“Applying this idea to preaching requires that an expositor be one who explains Scripture by laying open the text to public view in order to set forth its meaning, explain what is difficult to understand, and make appropriate application.” (Page 11)

“One must first process the text for original meaning and then principlize the text for current applicability.^{39” (Page 16)}

“Exegesis can now be defined as the skillful application of sound hermeneutical principles to the biblical text in the original language with a view to understanding and declaring the author’s intended meaning both to the immediate and subsequent audiences.” (Page 29)

“The preacher must first let the developing message sift through his own thinking and life before he can preach it.” (Page 15)

“The preacher must be dependent upon God the Holy Spirit for divine insight and understanding of God’s Word” (Page 15)
