By adopting preaching methods to suit the time, most pulpits have sadly abandoned the authority of the Word in this said ministry. Pragmatic approaches have devalued this divine task, substituting the message with the techniques that fit the fad. This process through which God works and through which many have been redeemed, has got to be put back the way God intended.

Haddon Robinson presents one of the evangelical classics on preaching. The work represents the sum total of the traditional methods of homiletics and does it in a manner that will resonate with many expository preachers. For the most part, the work introduces little new information, but certainly does an excellent job repackaging the material for the modern expositor. Some of the new topics include the concept of a inductive message, which is still quite new for most preachers in conservative ci...more
Most books I've read on preaching have pretty much the same content, so once you've read a few, you're unlikely to read anything that's particularly new. That's why this book is solid, but not groundbreaking.
He outlines several different structural approaches to sermons which I intend to go back and read to help avoid "sameyness" in sermons. It's a very useful section.

Respect the classics. I suppose homiletics manuals have been in style since the days of Broadus and Dabney. For our generation, and for the one preceding us, Robbinson set the stage. Other manuals are no doubt better, but for those of us who were preaching right out of high school and knew literally nothing about the bible and preaching, Robbinson's text was a god-send that gently walked us through the mechanics.

When I visited Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 2008, I was privileged to have two meals at a table with Dr. Robinson (who was serving as Interim President at the time), and both times I marveled at his unassuming compassion for everyone, although he had only just met each of us. The first meal, a breakfast
Apparently, a standard text on expository preaching. Deals in depth with the process of creating a sermon, from the point of choosing the text, to writing the outline and manuscript, and finally delivery. A helpful step-by-step guide. Couples well with Preaching and Preachers, which deals more with the spirituality and character of the preacher.
Very practical, interesting and helpful!
The book speaks about the need for a big idea with the use of subpoints:
The process of gaining that Big idea: Subject > Complement > Exegetical Idea > Homiletical Idea
For more information on that, read the book!
I liked it!

not quite as dry as 'Christ Centered Preaching', but kinda up there. A lot of good information about forming the sermon with one chapter at the end titled 'how to preach so people will listen' which I thought that a lot more time should have been given to in my class. Oh well, at least now I'm stuffed full of information about forming a biblical/expository sermon. Delivery on the other hand...well, maybe I'll luck out and it'll come naturally eh. >_< *sigh (oh Moody, why do you do this to...more
One of the best books on preaching. Most others will reference this one. A must read for college students preparing for ministry, young, and old pastors alike. Basic and thorough.
I have mixed feelings on this book. Having just finished Preaching 601 I have mixed feelings on Dr. Robinson's class in general.
Positives:
- Very practical
- Does not overspiritualize the process of preaching - brings in a lot of basic communication theory and applies it to preaching.
Negatives:
- I'm unconvinced that a sermon can have only one basic idea and that it needs to be reduced to a slogan-like title.
- I'm unconvinced that preaching without a manuscript (as we had to in class) is necessary...more

Unbearably technical. Practical, to be sure, but didn't stir my affections for Christ or excite me about proclaiming His Word.
I have read a lot on this topic. This book didn't blow me away, but it certainly had some good info.
This is standard text on expository preaching for good reason.

Good
A completely average and unremarkable book about preaching. It has helpful ways of thinking about the preaching task, good insight, tips, figures that help explain what the author is getting at and other underwhelming, mediocre, run of the mill observations about preaching. If you need a basic preaching book this is as good as any. (I haven't read it but Craddock's book might be better).
This is a book worth reading many times. I suppose there may some books of as good or better... but this book is great for anyone who reads, writes, speaks about most any concept .
As a part of my MA in Theology degree (which I later changed degree plans), I had to take a preaching class. Though my professor had strong convictions concerning women preaching, so much so he did not allow men in our class, only women, I learned much. He was a gracious and encouraging prof.
Might be okay for preaching 101, but too basic to be of much use beyond that.
An in depth look at how to take God's word and present it to a group of people. From frame work of a sermon to inflections of the voice. Great book for the up and coming public speaker to the humble minister.
Not even finished and I'm getting tons out of this book on how to preach the bible and remain faithful to the texts of original writer without bending whats being said to what I want it to say.
Talbot Course: Expository Preaching
Robinson is the man! This is foundational book when it comes to preaching. If you're just learning how to preach, this is where you want to start.

It was a decent book about preaching, but instead of giving you helpful hints, it told you exactly what to do instead and I really didn't like that.
Haddon Robinson is a great communicator and every pastor's teacher. I believe this is a valuable book to one entering the pastorate.
Gives you detailed instructions for expository preaching. One of my school books.
For Communication of Biblical Truth Class - so much to chew on... wow
