Take Up And Preach

Blayne Banting has provided a needed, focused treatment of the foundational segment of the preaching task. He has insightfully explored the movement from text to sermon outline. With a concise treatment of the motives and theology of preaching, he has helpfully clarified the movement from the biblical text to the sermon focus (dominant thought) and structure. He concludes with two valuable appendices (sermon forms and textual forms).
