10 books on preaching you may not have seen
Here are 10 stimulating books (which does not mean we agree with everything in them!) on preaching. So often, when it comes to preaching, the standard books are bandied around. But here are 10 you may not have seen:
- The glory of preaching by Darrell Johnson – a really good biblical justification of preaching, although with a weaker second half of practical application, stuff which you may have seen before
- Preaching with spiritual vigour by Murray Capill – lessons on preaching from the life of Richard Baxter
- Feed my sheep edited by Don Kistler – a great collection of essays on preaching from Mohler, Boice, Thomas, Beeke, Sproul – all the usual suspects. One of the best all round multi author books on preaching.
- Preaching and biblical theology by Ed Clowney – a great attempt early on to square what some saw as opposing forces. No longer in print, but second hand copies around.
- Princeton and preaching by James Garretson – an appreciation of one of Princeton's finest preachers Archibald Alexander. Heavily endorsed by Packer – good rich stuff.
- He is not silent – by Al Mohler – a simple justification of preaching in a post modern world
- Him we proclaim by Dennis Johnson – a call to apostolic preaching = preaching like the apostles. Challenging and helpful.
- Preaching with variety by Jeffrey Arthurs – one of my favourite books on preaching. Preach according to the genre!
- Preaching Christ in all the Scriptures by Ed Clowney – practical advice and sample sermons from the great preacher and theologian
- The art and craft of biblical preaching edited by Haddon Robinson – a huge collection of essays on preaching, some good, some not so. Rich vein though with contributions from our own David Jackman and Dick Lucas alongside many, many greats
