God's Word and Our Words is a rich feast and a delight. Time after time we see that God raises up preachers in order to bring renewal, revival, and new life to his church. May he do it again as we remind ourselves of our history and learn its lessons! --Simon Vibert, Vicar of Christ Church, Virginia Water Just as 'Jesus came preaching' (Mark 1:14), so the church has had preaching as a central focus of its life and work through the centuries. In God's Word and Our Words, a stellar team of contributors walks the reader through the history of Christian preaching in an engaging and readable way. Growing out of a symposium held at Baylor University, each chapter takes a portion of the preaching story, from the Old Testament prophets to contemporary evangelicalism. Any student of preaching will find this to be a must-have volume. --Michael Duduit, Clamp Divinity School, Anderson University, and Executive Editor, Preaching magazine There are seasons in every preacher's life when discouragement strikes in the pulpit. We wonder whether preaching is really worth it. In God's Word and Our Words, Gloer and Boyd assemble leading voices from the fields of biblical studies, church history, and homiletics to remind and inspire preachers of the past, present, and future significance of preaching--its joys and its challenges. . . . Be prepared to have your fire for preaching rekindled! --Matthew D. Kim, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, author of Preaching with Cultural Intelligence and A Little Book for New Preachers
