Proclaiming The Word

David J. Jackman Presents a Convenient, Accessible Primer on Expository Preaching

God uses his people to accomplish his work through his word. Every Bible teacher-from pastors and small-group leaders to Sunday school volunteers-has the task and privilege of rightly handling the revelation God has given. To do this effectively, they need to make Scripture the driving force of their preaching.

In this convenient handbook, David J. Jackman offers readers the basic principles of biblical exposition that will equip them to faithfully study, prepare, and deliver sermons and Bible talks. Sharing from his 30 years of experience equipping pastors, he gives readers the skills to study and convey the context of Bible passages, encourage meaningful application of Scripture, and more. Proclaiming the Word features several practical teaching examples along with a sample assessment in the back to help Bible expositors submit their sermons to the word of God.
