A History of Preaching: Volume Two: From 1572 - 1900

Edwin Dargan’s two-volume history (here bound as one) traces preaching from the apostolic era to the 19th century, highlighting the great orators and the social conditions that shaped their ministries. Dargan’s analysis is both critical and appreciative, showing how preaching rises and declines with the church’s grasp of biblical truth. The book is a goldmine for preachers seeking models, for historians tracing cultural change, and for believers who long to hear heaven’s voice again.
