The End of Preaching is equal parts instruction and inspiration, offering practical help for every preacher and seminarian, and providing a new way of thinking about the purpose and craft of preaching. Tom Troeger explores the end--or purpose--of preaching as prayer. He gently reveals layer after layer of meaning for the preacher and the practice of preaching, giving deep insight into the preacher's approach, the task of preaching itself, and the impact of preaching on the hearers. This is a book to be studied and savored, a wonderful gift for one’s self or any preacher friend.Thomas Troeger delivered the 2016 Beecher Lectures, the nation's most prestigious and influential series of lectures on the topic of preaching. The series was established at Yale University in 1871.
I bought this book on recommendation by a trusted source, but I am basically disappointed. I expected a broader treatment of the subject of preaching, but the author addresses it from one theme and different angles with each chapter. The author's main point (not to let the cat out of the bag) is debatable, though not offensive. I ultimately had difficulty disciplining myself to finish it, in spite of its relatively short length. Read the excerpts to determine whether it appeals to you before buying.
