The Divine Art Of Preaching: Lectures

by Arthur Tappan Pierson

The Divine Art of Lectures (1892) is a book written by Arthur Tappan Pierson. This book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by Pierson, who was a prominent Christian preacher, in the late 19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of preaching. In the first chapter, Pierson discusses the importance of preaching and the role of the preacher in society. He argues that preaching is a divine art that requires both skill and dedication. He also emphasizes the need for preachers to be humble and to focus on the message rather than themselves. In the following chapters, Pierson discusses various aspects of preaching, including the use of language, the importance of prayer, and the role of the Holy Spirit in preaching. He also provides practical advice on how to prepare and deliver a sermon, including tips on structuring a sermon and engaging with the audience. Throughout the book, Pierson draws on his own experiences as a preacher and his extensive knowledge of the Bible to provide insights and guidance for aspiring preachers. The Divine Art of Lectures (1892) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art of preaching and the role of the preacher in Christian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
