The Theory Of Preaching

The Theory of Preaching: Lectures on Homiletics (1881) by Austin Phelps is a comprehensive guide to the art of preaching. The book is divided into 26 lectures, each of which covers a different aspect of homiletics, including the nature and purpose of preaching, the preparation of sermons, the delivery of sermons, and the role of the preacher in society. Phelps draws on his extensive experience as a preacher and educator to provide practical advice and insights into the challenges and opportunities of preaching. He also includes numerous examples and illustrations from the Bible and from history to illustrate his points. The Theory of Preaching is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art of preaching, whether as a preacher, a student of homiletics, or a member of a congregation seeking to understand the role of the preacher in their community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
