{"product_id":"what-to-preach-henry-sloane-coffin-9781026082522","title":"What to Preach","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"What to Preach\" is an essential exploration of the art and substance of the Christian sermon, authored by the influential theologian Henry Sloane Coffin. Drawing upon his extensive experience as both a pastor and an educator, Coffin provides a comprehensive guide for ministers seeking to refine their message and deepen their impact on the congregation. The work categorizes preaching into five distinct types: expository, doctrinal, ethical, pastoral, and evangelistic, offering deep insights into how each form serves the spiritual needs of a community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text emphasizes the importance of a preacher's intellectual integrity and spiritual depth, arguing that the modern pulpit must bridge the gap between ancient scriptural truths and the contemporary realities of daily life. By examining the fundamental themes that should guide a minister's choice of topics, Coffin provides a roadmap for constructing sermons that are both biblically grounded and socially relevant. This volume serves as a significant historical document in American homiletics, reflecting the theological concerns of the early twentieth century while offering timeless advice for anyone dedicated to the vocation of religious teaching and pastoral care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
