A theological case for purposeful preaching

Jay E. Adams examines how a clear sense of purpose shapes the work of preaching, connecting the preacher’s task with the direction offered by Scripture. The book addresses both the rationale for purposeful sermons and the role biblical teaching plays in guiding their preparation and delivery. Its subject is homiletics as a practical ministry concern: how preaching communicates truth and serves Christian life and service. The focus is on the preacher’s responsibility to approach the task deliberately, rather than treating purpose as incidental.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Preachers considering the aims and responsibilities of their ministry
  • Students of homiletics seeking a Scripture-centered discussion of preaching
  • Christian ministry readers interested in how preaching serves congregational life

Book overview

"The amazing lack of concern for purpose among homileticians and preachers has spawned a brood of preachers who are dull, lifeless, abstract and impersonal; it has obscured truth, hindered joyous Christian living, destroyed dedication and initiative, and stifled service for Christ." -Jay Adams, from the book Preaching needs to become purposeful, says Jay Adams, because purposeless preaching is deadly. This book was written to help preachers and students discover the purpose of preaching has and the ways that the Scriptures inform and direct the preaching task. Preaching with Purpose, like the many other books of Jay Adams, speaks clearly and forcefully to the issue. Having read this book, both students and experienced preachers will be unable to ignore the urgent task of purposeful preaching. And the people of God will be the better for it.
