The Preacher and His Models

James Stalker’s ‘The Preacher and His Models’ is a classic textbook on homiletics that never ages. With literary grace the Scottish scholar examines the preaching styles of Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John, then distils the timeless principles that make sermons both faithful to Scripture and compelling to listeners. Stalker warns against rhetorical tricks and exalts the Spirit’s power, urging ministers to prepare the man before they prepare the message. A stimulating read for seasoned pastors and seminary students alike.
