Baker Biblical Preaching, Second Edition

Haddon Robinson's Biblical Preaching has become a modern classic on the preparation and delivery of expository sermons. Much has changed, however, in twenty years and Robinson has undertaken the task of updating his work to benefit a new generation of preachers who will speak to a markedly different world.

While retaining the original outline of the book and Robinson's ten-stage process of sermon development, this new edition offers significant improvements. Many of the illustrations and arguments have been updated, the prose has been changed to gender-inclusive language, each chapter is enhanced with suggestions for further study, and the discussions of narrative and inductive preaching have been expanded.

Don't forget to read the introduction. By the time the reader finishes the book, there should be a good picture in the mind about how to proceed in preparing a message.

An excellent resource. Highly recommended for any pastor, preacher, or seminarian. Great recommendations for every aspect of the preaching craft. This should be required reading for anyone stepping into a pulpit.

The book is absolutely wonderful for someone who wants to learn expository preaching. It is also an excellent resource for those experienced preachers who simply want to sharpen their skills. I highly recommend this product. It is a very comprehensible and practical for ministers of every level. The methodology presented by the author is invaluable. D. Rose

I have read several books on preaching, and this ranks at the top of the list. It was remarkably interesting and helpful. I hope many others in the ministry will read it carefully, and that it will be used as a textbook in classes on the subject.

Biblical Preaching by Robinson is a must read for all pastors and all young men who feel called to the ministry. It is a practical book that clearly explains how to prepare an expository message. Expository preaching is the most difficult to prepare and deliver but is the most rewarding for both the pastor and the people. I have to keep replacing my copy because I keep giving it away to pastors. Bless yourself and your people by getting a copy for yourself!

This book has some very good information in it. It can definitely be a guiding and forming tool. Of course the God-called preacher of the gospel should always remember that it is the Lord who calls and it is the Lord Who will equip the call with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Ask the Lord Jesus to Baptize you with the Holy Spirit to receive power and then live your life as a living sacrifice unto Him. He will bring in the harvest. note Ps. 118:8

No ministry text in seminary made a more profound impact on my pastoral ministry than Haddon Robinson's "Biblical Preaching." When I heard it had been revised, I couldn't imagine that it could have been improved. I was wrong. It is even better. It retains all the features which made it so valuable--a passion for God's Word, a love for the person in the pulpit and the people in the pew, a systematic approach to biblical preaching, an emphasis on relating truth to life, and a compelling writing style. It adds features which make it even more valuable--updated illustrations, expanded sections (especially helpful is the expanded chapter on narrative preaching), and suggested reading. Not only is the book better, the times are worse. Biblical preaching that relates truth to life is more needful now than ever. Far too many pulpits are overreacting or "mis-reacting" to post-modernism and Generation X. Preachers mistakenly assume that the spirit of the age requires questioning, not answering. In truth, post-modern Gen Xers want answers--real answers for real people with real questions. "Biblical Preaching" shows us how to get the job done.
