Equipping for the Pulpit Ministry

Never in the history of the Church has the ministry been more complex and demanding than today. This author is of the persuasion that certain critical philosophical concepts are being lost in the press to prepare preachers for the organizational and operational aspects of the ministry. Mechanics are overshadowing motive. Precept is being subjugated to pragmatism. Success has become more important than faithfulness to truth. In such an environment, the greatest losers are not the ill-prepared preachers but the saints who depend upon those preachers for spiritual leadership. For this reason, the principles of this volume are set forth. Every effort has been made to be practical as well as philosophical.
