preaching, it is an invaluable resource for Protestant preachers to
learn about Christian preaching. The book presents comprehensive
knowledge about preaching in theory and practice, as well as a rich
history of Christian preaching throughout two millennia. The essays
in this book, written to the point and in depth on crucial subject
matters of homiletics, are excellent teaching materials for both
introductory and advanced preaching courses."Eunjoo Mary Kim,
Professor of Homiletics and Liturgics, Iliff School of Theology
"The graduate students in ministerial studies for whom this book
was intended will read this accessible and instructive Handbook
with great profit indeed."
