W hy don't we preach like Jesus? Why do so many homiletics books fail to even mention the Master's example, let alone use Him as the model? Surely, with 20 percent of the words in the New Testament coming from Jesus' mouth, that's enough to help us catch the spirit and the style of His preaching. And that's just what Dr. Ralph Lewis does in this book-with an in-depth look at Jesus, the Preacher. In this follow-up to his critically acclaimed, widely read, ground- breaking book Inductive Preaching: Helping People Listen. Dr. Lewis examines the communication style, underlying attitudes, and basic ingredients of Jesus' preaching. He also analyzes Jesus' sermons and the sermons of those New Testament preachers who learned directly from Him. Lewis writes, "When we look at the Bible, we see that the great mission of our preaching should be to help people. not to prepare sermons. But how do we do that? Jesus' example provides the answers." This thought-provoking, readable book also expands the horizons of traditional homiletics by exploring the new disciplines of brain theory and learning theory for applica- tions to preaching. In the process, it shows how Jesus' first- century preaching style is perfectly suited to the challenges of twenty-first-century communication. Learning to Preach Like Jesus is must reading for all who want to improve their preaching. 232.9540891075364L Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 232.954 Lew l E92011179 Non Fiction 232.954 Lew l 91xGeNz6ZLL._SY522_.jpg 36493 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2024-09-19 10:12:22 machine generated
