review 1: This is an author I've not had the pleasure of reading until recently when I picked up this book (on Amazon). I'm no preacher, though I do "preach the Word in season & out of season". And I'm not trained in homiletics. But I can and do appreciate those who are gifted and know how to exegete and expound the Scriptures in such a way as to bring the full light of God's Word into the darkened recesses of my own heart.I appreciate the author's approach to this needed subject. The contents are as follows: 1. The Eclipse of Expository Preaching, 2. What Happened to Expository Preaching?, 3. The Nature of Expository Preaching, 4. The Benefits of Expository Preaching, 5. Practical Pointers, and 6. “Who Is Equal to Such a Task?”. The content and argument of the book are we... morell laid out and present a challenge for us who are in the Church to get back to true biblical preaching that instructs the mind, motivates the hands to action and transforms the heart.
review 2: This is simply the best short booklet I've read on expository preaching.Begg has chapters on The Eclipse of Expository Preaching, What Happened to Expository Preaching?, The Nature of Expository Preaching, The Benefits of Expository Preaching, Practical Pointers, and Who is Equal to Such a Task?. To be sure, all of the chapters could be fleshed out in much greater detail, but Begg does an outstanding job of concisely covering his material in each short chapter.Unfortunately, there are too many younger preachers who think their preaching is expository, but is actually so far from it, but they don't know it, that it is tragic. And it's equally tragic that they have no interest in learning about expository preaching because they think they are already "doing it."The booklet is part of the Today's Issues series promoted by the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. less
