This comprehensive yet readable book provides both to those new to preaching, and to those who already have preaching experience, with the various tasks of preaching, from planning a sermon that takes account of biblical, personal, church and liturgical background through to using stories, imagination, dialogue, drama, and news bulletins. Special sections include preaching in relation to the sacraments, the contribution of women preachers, the development of preaching in Europe, and on African and South American perspectives. Also included is advice on rhetoric, and ways to understand, develop and review your own style.
