Preaching the truth as it is in Jesus: A reader on Andrew Fuller

by David E. Prince, Michael A.G. Haykin (Foreword)

"Every Divine truth bears a relation to hence the doctrine of the gospel is called 'the truth as it is in Jesus ,'" according to Andrew Fuller. Biblical history is the story of the truth as it is in Jesus. Fuller never lost sight of this foundational truth. His pastoral commitment to pursue the truth as it is in Jesus transformed every aspect of Fuller's thinking, including his understanding of the task of preaching, sermon preparation, and the preparation of the preacher himself. He believed in the primacy of faithful, Christ-centered expository preaching. Of preaching, he wrote, "Oh how important! We preach for eternity!" These pages call the reader alongside Andrew Fuller as he teaches us through his writings and sermons to "Preach not only the truth, but all truth, ' as it is in Jesus .'"

Our current moment calls us to emulate the Elephant of Kettering! Andrew Fuller embodied experiential theology in the pulpit as he aimed to preach Christ. This collection of addresses from Fuller will ignite your passion for Christ. Take up and read!

[Pat Phelps · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this as a way to really get to know who Andrew Fuller was, instead I was really surprised at the amazing preacher he had been. This book is a collection of talks or sermons on specific topics, such as:

1. The Truth as It Is in Jesus
2. Preaching Christ
3. Preparing Sermons to Preach Christ
4. Preparing the Preacher to Preach Christ

His focus on Christ in all of life should be a model for us to follow.
