“How did you learn to preach?” is one of the more frequent questions I’m asked. In addition to practice (trial and error!), I can honestly say that I learned much in terms both of what to do and not to do by studying great preachers from the past and present. Virtually all effective preachers will admit that in some sense they stand on the shoulders of someone who has preceded them, from whose method and style and understanding of Scripture they have drawn. That is certainly true of me. These volumes are a treasure trove of homiletical insights from the greatest of preachers in the history of the Christian church. It is a wonderful resource that I am extremely happy to recommend.
