A Primer for Preachers

Rating:
Summary: Preparation
Review: A Primer for Preachers by Ian Pitt-Watson is an excellent tool that would help prepare the "proclaimer" to deliver a foundationally sound sermon. It helps the reader to focus on the aspect of what preaching is all about. What is preaching? Preaching is about what God has done and not about what we ought to do. Watson takes the reader through steps on how to make a sermon grow and how to present correct language and delivery. The deep rooted focus of A Primer for Preachers is the story of Christ. The preaching of the Word of God is the Word of God. Watson allows the reader to see that if the scripture is correctly interpreted, the scripture will preach itself! This is an excellent training apparatus that is fully loaded and ready to prepare God's preacher to deliver His Word. I highly recommend this book for all preachers and teachers. Kudos!

The preaching of the Word of God is the Word of God. Watson allows the reader to see that if the scripture is correctly interpreted, the scripture will preach itself! It also helps us to see the comparison between the text of the scripture and the text of life. For every concept in preaching, there should be a simile. When Jesus taught, He pointed to some shared commonplace of human experience. A Primer assists the preacher in the same kind of development. It sheds light on the real life experience. This is an excellent training apparatus that is fully loaded and ready to prepare God's preacher to deliver His Word. I highly recommend this book for all preachers and teachers. Kudos!
