Media Reviews
Preaching may be a more counter-cultural activity than earlier generations found it; but it's all the more important to do it well and imaginatively. Here, in an attractive and accessible blend of theology and reflection on patterns of learning, we have a guide to the main issues that will be welcome to those in all denominations who are working to find effective ways - to borrow John Wesley's phrase - of 'offering Christ' to the people. -- Archbishop Rowan Williams.
This is a page turner - sweeping us along with its energy, uncovering one layer after another, introducing us to one facet of truth after another. Yet it also stands as a work of reference, a text book, a vade mecum. Two seasoned preachers have laid bare their art and we can all feel inspired, encouraged, goaded, challenged by t heir work. -- The Rev the Lord Griffiths of Burry Port, Superintendent Minister of Wesley's Chapel in London.
‘The book does go someway to replace the writing of Philips Brooks - and not before time!'
Its [the book's] style is didactic and authoritative... there is much here to learn and much that could apply to less conventional settings that those envisaged by the authors. * Methodist Recorder *
The book... will be useful for those who teach preachers and those responsible for providing refresher courses. * Theology Vol. 115 (No.1) *
In Sustaining Preachers and Preaching, we are offered the carefully considered reflections and wisdom of two experienced Methodist preachers … Although both authors speak from their own Methodist background, preachers (lay and ordained) of all denominations can find helpful guidance, encouragement and challenge in their insights. -- Anna Leyden, Liverpool * Anvil *
