Synopsis

Excerpt from Preacher Problems

IN preparing this volume the author has had a specific object in view. That object is to supply the twentieth century preacher with suggestions as to his word and work. The book is not a compilation of matter from works on homiletics and pastoral theology. It is the result of the author's own personal experience in a minis try of over fifty years. During this long period of active ministry. He has served some of the most important churches in both Europe and America, and at the same time he has been intimately associated with the public press of these countries, by which means he has been brought into intimate contact with the needs of the public ministry of a very wide parish, and consequently the knowledge thus obtained has enabled him to deal with the problems, considered in this volume, from a some what comprehensive point of view. The author has also had considerable experience in the training of young men for the ministry, both in colleges and in special training classes, and this experience has furnished him with material at first hand with which to treat the educational side of the preacher's preparation for his work. Indeed, the entire contents of the volume were originally prepared as lectures for ministerial stu dents in colleges and universities, though some of the lectures have been delivered before preachers' institutes and associations.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Preacher Problems: Or the Twentieth Century Preacher at His Work While, on some accounts, it might have been better to give the lectures a careful revision and also some of the problems a fuller treatment, nevertheless the author has thought that, upon the whole, the lectures may do more good by retaining their original form and matter, and consequently they now appear exactly as they were delivered, when first prepared, except that in some cases the lectures, when first delivered, were expanded by extemporaneous remarks, which remarks are not included in this printed report. It will soon appear to the reader that the purpose of these lectures is much more comprehensive than is usual in such a work. In solving problems, and especially such problems as will continually meet the twentieth century preacher, much more is required than a few practical hints with respect to the preparation and delivery of sermons and the performance of what is usually understood by pastoral work. In treating the more pressing preacher problems of the present day, it was deemed necessary to discuss somewhat exhaustively such questions as appeared to the author to be of special value. This will explain why it is that some problems have received a much fuller treatment than others. It is not claimed that any problem has received all the attention it deserves. The aim has been to simply help the preacher to solve each problem for himself, and consequently the volume is suggestive rather than exhaustive. In short, the author has had constantly in view just what would be most helpful to the preacher, not what was most congenial to the author himself. It is not probable that everything the book contains will be endorsed by even the average twentieth century preacher.
