Proclaiming the Word by Ronald E. Sleeth

"The most satisfying book on preaching.. since the beginning of the theological-biblical renaissance in preaching."

—Religion in Life

The increased usage of the Bible in today's pulpits is no assurance that it is being preached adequately. Ronald Sleeth realizes the necessity of biblical preaching and communicates the need for an informed preacher in tune with today's culture and, most importantly, his own congregation. Sleeth's thoughts on the whys, whats, and hows of preaching serve as a basic introduction for both seminary student and young minister. As a refresher course, experienced preachers may use them to enlarge and deepen their preaching con-cepts.

RONALD E. SLEETH is professor of preaching at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University: He has also taught at Vanderbilt University Divinity School, West Vitginia Wesleyan College, and Garrett Theological Seminary.
