Excerpt from Thoughts on Preaching: Specially in Relation to the Requirements of the Age
By laymen, it is possible, these remarks have been made with too little consideration for the various and incessant demands which are made upon a clergyman's time as well as with too little sympathy towards those mental and physical conditions, which, as the author of the Rambler so feelingly tells us must greatly affect the intellectual productions of any writer, who condemns himself to compose on a stated day. Still this has not the less disposed the clergy to meet the charges of pulpit failure with unshrinking fairness; or made them unwilling, whenever they have had opportunity of meeting together for mutual conference, to give to the consideration of the subject a distinguished prominence.
To the latter proof of a desire among them to enter tain the question honestly, the present work owes its origin. On two occasions of large meetings of clergy, the author was applied to, by his brethren, to prepare a paper on Preaching; -the general subject being given to him at one meeting, and that of Preaching for the Age, at another. On each of these occasions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores what preaching means as a form of Christian teaching. It begins by establishing the significance of the practice in the history of the Church and the role it has played in significant historical events. Whilst noting concerns raised around the effectiveness of preaching in modern times, the author suggests that its essence is an adaptation to the needs of the popular mind and that this should be the mainspring of pulpit efficiency. The author emphasizes that preaching should not merely aim to provide emotional comfort but also to teach, challenge, and instruct. This may include systematic theology, philosophical reflections on Christianity, and speaking with authority. The book argues that both the heart and the mind must be engaged in order to bring about a lasting change in the lives of believers. Ultimately, the author asserts that preaching, when done effectively, can be a powerful force for good, helping individuals to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
