Anointed Expository Preaching

• Authors: Stephen F. Olford and David L. Olford
• Publisher: Broadman and Holman
• Publication Date: 1998
• Pages: 385

Stephen Olford and David Olford, both widely respected preachers in their own right, define “expository preaching” as preaching that exposes Scripture instead of imposing upon it. In Anointed Expository Preaching, the authors teach its technique and equip and encourage preachers of all kinds to respect their calling and minister God’s inerrant Word. The Olford’s methodology of preaching makes this a deeply spiritual and intensely practical book, offering specific instructions to help preachers write, review, and rehearse their sermons, exposing the eternal truths of Scripture and clarifying the themes of their message. They are the authors of The Secret of Soul Winning in the Evangelism Collection (11 volumes)

A veritable encyclopedia for preachers and their preaching. It is filled with practical, pointed, and pertinent guidelines that are clothed in seasoned counsel.

Topics covered in this book include: the three myths of communication, building trust in the messenger, nine behavioral skills, six content skills, and means for applying bold assurance.

Thankfully not everyone has the gift of gab or the world would be far too noisy. But, everyone does need to know how to communicate with clarity and effectiveness. In this respect, Bert Decker, through his outstanding material, helps all of us find our way toward successful communication. Better yet, his work is grounded in the very principles which the one who designed us in the first place has given to us in His Word.

Preaching from the Inside Out

• Author: Charles B. Bugg
• Publisher: Broadman and Holman
• Publication Date: 1992
• Pages: 144

Bugg calls for a new emphasis on the spiritual vitality of the preacher. For him, preaching is more than a craft or an art or even a profession. It is more than the shaping of some words to entertain or dazzle. Preaching must grow out from the pastor’s personal experience with the Word of God. The preacher stands inside the faith, and it is from there the preacher is able to communicate to those who listen. The key word in preaching for Bugg is relationship. He strongly confirms that preaching cannot be separated from what a minister is. A sermon is not something one merely gets up and does, it is to be lived out in the preacher.

Charles Bugg received his Ph.D from Southern Seminary in Kentucky, and was the Carl E. Bates Professor of Preaching there. In August, 2005, he was installed as dean of the M. Christopher White School of Divinity at Gardner-Webb University. He has been the pastor of a number of churches, including the First Baptist Church in Augusta, GA. He is the author of Getting on Top When Life Gets Us Down. He is a sought after speaker in churches, state, and national meetings, and brings years of preaching and pastoral experience to this book.

The Prophets as Preachers: An Introduction to the Hebrew Prophets

• Author: Gary V. Smith
• Publisher: Broadman and Holman
• Publication Date: 1994
• Pages: 385

The prophets of the Old Testament times were among the most persuasive preachers in all of history. Smith uses communication theory and the sociology of knowledge to analyze how the preaching of the Old Testament prophets were able to change individual lives, influence the world’s greatest leaders, and cause entire nations to repent. He reaches beyond the traditional presentations of Scripture and historical data to look through the eyes of the Old Testament prophets, see their worldviews, examine their historical/social contexts, and explore the communications process and the dynamics of persuasion. Each chapter includes discussion questions concerning theological and social implications.

Gary Smith taught Old Testament at Bethel Theological Seminary in Minnesota, and Old Testament and Hebrew at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Missouri. He is the author of Broadening Your Biblical Horizons, Amos: A Commentary and contributed to the Biblical Essentials Series (10 titles).
