Preaching Gospel

by Charles L. Campbell (Editor), Peter Storey (Foreword), Clayton J Schmit (Editor)

Teaching preaching, like preaching itself, is a noble endeavor. After nearly four decades of teaching, Richard Lischer has sent legions of preachers across the world to preach gospel. This volume pays tribute to his faith-filled life of preaching and teaching. The contributors, some of whom were taught by Lischer, have received many laurels themselves, so readers will find in these pages wisdom for preaching from many quarters. Some authors include sermons with helpful commentary about the preaching exercise; some offer essays to illuminate the task of sermon writing; all acknowledge the influence of Richard Lischer on their preaching and teaching endeavors.

Contains a series of essays by a number of different contributors reflecting on the work of Richard Lischer. Reflecting on the theology and practices of preaching, these essays tackle a variety of issues. Lischer's work in the field of homiletics has proven to be a great service to the Church. Beyond giving Lischer praise for his contributions, each author demonstrates the theological implications of Lischer's homiletical frameworks, often rooted in Luther's theology of the cross. This was well worth the time to read and reflect on the art and craft of preaching Gospel.
