AlbakiReads Editorial

A theological foundation for preaching

Peter Adam frames preaching as a practice grounded in the relationship between God’s speech, Scripture, and the work of those who explain and teach its words. The book develops these three ideas as a theological basis for preaching, connecting beliefs about Scripture with the preacher’s role in communicating it to a contemporary audience. Its subject is both the rationale for biblical preaching and the responsibilities that follow from that rationale, with illustrations used throughout to support the discussion.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Preachers seeking a theological framework for their ministry
  • Readers studying Christian ministry and the practice of preaching

Book overview

There are many books on preaching, but few, if any, on the theology of preaching. Yet, whether it is recognized or not, theology underlies any preaching that claims to be biblical. In Speaking God's Words Peter Adam builds confidence in preaching by laying a firm theological foundation for it. Preaching rests upon three great pillars: God has spoken, his words are now recorded in Scripture and he commissions people "to explain, preach and teach his written words to their contemporaries." Throughout the book, using well-chosen illustrations, Dr Adam encourages preachers to give themselves to the demanding yet thrilling task of "preaching God's words" today.
