The Making Of The Sermon For The Class Room And The Study Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from The Making of the Sermon: For the Class-Room and the Study The title of this book sufficiently indicates its purpose. While intended primarily for the use of the student in the class-room, I have also written it with an eye to a still wider audience. I trust that it may be of use to some ministers who have not taken a seminary course, and also to many more whose class-room work, receding year by year, threatens, by the lapse of time and by the pressure of many duties needing their immediate attention, to become a faint and ineffectual memory. It is perhaps inevitable, unless he guards himself against it most jealously, that the preacher should become a slave to the tyranny of his own habits of pulpit preparation. This is due to many causes: to the absorbing claims of pastoral work, which often leaves neither the time nor the vigor which is needed, if new methods are to be tried; to the dread of making any material change in habits which have come to be so much a part of himself; and to the almost breathless frequency with which Sundays recur, suggesting that they are somehow independent of the calendar that regulates the other days of the week.
