The author, a well-respected teacher of preachers, shows how to discern the text's theological meaning and let that meaning shape the development of the sermon. Clearly written and illustrated with Old Testament and New Testament examples, the book helps preachers negotiate larger swaths of Scripture and includes two annotated sermon manuscripts from Kuruvilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Anyone who preaches . . . needs to read this book\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Abraham Kuruvilla is a physician-theologian whose work in the field of homiletics is both innovative and firmly Bible based. This manual on preaching is at once practical and theologically rich. It shows not only how-to but also wherefore. Highly recommended!\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eTimothy George\u003c\/b\u003e, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Kuruvilla, one of our most prolific homileticians, has finally written an introductory textbook, and the guild is better for it. His approach is fresh as he shows students how to discover, apply, organize, illustrate, and deliver the theological thrust of the text.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eJeffrey Arthurs\u003c\/b\u003e, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Wise, humble, realistic, vividly illustrated, erudite, comprehensive, constructively contrarian, playful, memorable, but above all helpful for the serious preacher. Kuruvilla's magnum opus builds upon decades of preaching, equipping preachers, and writing for them. This book is not for the lazy. It takes seriously the price preachers must pay to prepare, but it will richly reward those who learn from its precepts and examples.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eGreg R. Scharf\u003c\/b\u003e, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This introduction to the science and the art of preaching represents Kuruvilla at his best. Few will agree with him, or me, at every point, but then, effective preachers tend to be idiosyncratic creatures. Our differences aside, whether readers are old hands at the enterprise or novices entering this sacred vocation, anyone who preaches and any church leader who listens to preaching needs to read this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eDaniel I.

The book is full of seasoned wisdom, making use of Kuruvilla's own experience--both his successes and, occasionally, his failures. I recommend it not only for personal enrichment but also as a textbook for any class in homiletics.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eDerek Tidball\u003c\/b\u003e, former principal, London School of Theology \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"If Kuruvilla writes it, I read it! Few think or write more deeply or insightfully about preaching and its implications than Kuruvilla. This latest book from his pen is no exception.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eDavid L.
