The Sermon: Its Homiletical Construction
Seminaries, teachers, and students of preaching, as well as preachers in the active ministry are always on the alert for books to guide them in the construction of effective sermons. This is a book specifically designed to do this very thing.
R. C. H. Lenski for a quarter of a century taught at Capital Seminary in the fields of exegesis, dogmatics and homiletics. He is the author of a monumental commentary on the entire New Testament. Few men have been better qualified to furnish a book on effective sermon construction.

Much of Lenski's guidance sounded very familiar. It is clear that my instructors at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary were influence by him or trained by men influenced by him. Yet reading was much more than a refresher. At a time when 30 minute sermons were the standard fare, Lenski emphasized in singularity of purpose for each word or phrase. It must advance the theme. It must be vital to the single great point the text brings to God's people. If it is not, no matter how wise or true or biblical, it must be cut.
He has much more to say that still applies as shepherds bring God's Word to their sheep today.
