Robinson's commitment to expository preaching with high contemporary relevance is the foundation for effective pulpit ministry, and the fourth edition strengthens this foundation even more. The new section on the theological idea is most welcome. I plan to finish my career teaching homiletics with Biblical Preaching as my textbook of choice."
