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 or even helpful.
- Book and class often felt like an undergraduate public speaking class because of Robinson's de-emphasis on specific theological content.
