As one of today’s outstanding preachers, Samuel Wells understands the importance of proclamation in the life of the church and in the public sphere. In this practical and inspiration manual, he considers the essentials of preaching in a wide range of contexts: Preaching on the Times: preaching about politics, the planet, economics, justice and truth; Preaching on the Seasons: preaching at Christmas, Easter, Ascension, Harvest and All Saints; Preaching Texts: preaching on Old Testament Narratives, on Old Testament Poetry on the Gospels, on the Parables, and on Paul; Preaching Contexts: preaching at baptisms, weddings, funerals, after a tragedy, and preaching at short notice without a text. Each section considers styles of preaching, what the occasion demands, practical advice for preparing, two sample sermons and a list of dos and don’ts.
