Excerpt from The Preacher: His Person, Message, and Method: A Book for the Class-Room and Study

NO apology is needed in publishing a new book on preaching. As long as the pulpit shall stand as the chief teacher of the religious life, young men will need to be taught how to receive and give the Word of God, and older men will welcome whatever promises to brighten their ideal and to renew their creative impulse. The only question is the worth of the book does it meet the need of the present-day pulpit? Will it help men to a message, divine in its experience and in its fitness to living issues?

In the changed atmosphere of modern life, it is not enough for the preacher to say the things that are expected; he must speak the truth that has found him and so will find other men; and therefore the lectures place emphasis upon the personal element in preaching. They at tempt to portray the preacher as he ought to be in character and habit, and to uncover the sources of his real authority.
