Preaching with Purpose: The Urgent Task of Homiletics
by Jay Edward Adams
Jay Adams Library
This book was written to help preachers and students of preaching discover the purpose that preaching has and the ways that Scripture informs and directs the preaching task.
"The amazing lack of concern for purpose among homileticians and preachers has spawned a brood of preachers who are dull, lifeless, abstract and impersonal; it has obscured truth, hindered joyous Christian living, destroyed dedication and initiative, and stifled service for Christ." -Jay Adams, from the book
Preaching needs to become purposeful, says Jay Adams, because purposeless preaching is deadly. This book was written to help preachers and students discover the purpose preaching has and the ways that the Scriptures inform and direct the preaching task.
Preaching with Purpose, like the many other books of Jay Adams, speaks clearly and forcefully to the issue. Having read this book, both students and experienced preachers will be unable to ignore the urgent task of purposeful preaching. And the people of God will be the better for it.
