In this insightful study, James Earl Massey offers an expanded version of the Twelfth Annual William E. Conger, Jr. Lectures on Biblical Preaching that he delivered at Beeson Divinity School in February 2004. Through a unique collection of informative lectures and illustrative sermons, the highly esteemed teacher and preacher considers four dimensions of the preacher as steward of the gospel story. Pastors will warmly welcome this book as it provides them with both practical guidance and insight about their identity as preachers.

Preaching from Hebrews: Hermeneutical Insights & Homiletical Helps
(Drawing upon a lifetime of experience as a New Testament ...)
Drawing upon a lifetime of experience as a New Testament professor and a persuasive preacher, Dr. James Earl Massey gives us a unique combination of resources in Preaching from Hebrews. The first half of the book is Massey's own expository commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews. The last half is a preacher's guide to key themes of the book that are especially relevant to today's listeners, including a selection of sermons that Massey has preached from Hebrews. One might call this a preaching workshop in a book. It gives ministry students and active pastors the kind of scholarly insight and practical pastoral application that would normally be found in several days of conference study.

Designing the Sermon: Order and Movement in Preaching (Abingdon Preacher's Library Series)
( Providing fundamental homiletical principles, this clas...)
Providing fundamental homiletical principles, this classic book gives readers all the tools they need to prepare a meaningful sermon. "Sermon design"--James Massey's contemporary, creative approach to shaping specific classifications of sermons--focuses on order (What is the preacher's goal?) and on movement (What structure is he or she using to get there?). The discussion of his approach begins with an appraisal of the sermon in context--in relation to goals, design, basic forms, contemporary concerns, and the "why" of it all. Dr. Massey's specific forms for designing sermons include the narrative/story sermon--a subject which is receiving renewed interest today; the textual-expository sermon; the doctrinal/topical sermon; and the special occasion sermon, for which he has chosen the topic of the funeral. Suggestions are included for studying the methods of master preachers as a resource for more effective preaching. And three of the author's own tested sermons are used as illustrations of sermon design possibilities.

The Burdensome Joy of Preaching
(In this volume James Earl Massey explores both the sense ...)
In this volume James Earl Massey explores both the sense of burden and the sense of joy that accompanies the preaching task. He gives attention to the preacher's sense of the inward side of the task, next to the outward side of preaching. He then considers the togetherness that earnest preachers seek to experience with their hearers, followed by reflections on the planning necessary for the eventfulness that preaching was ordained by God to offer. After almost fifty years of preaching, Massey offers insight and reflection that will remind, inform, stimulate, and encourage all who bear the necessary and perennial responsibility to prepare and preach the Word.

New in Paper. Resources for preachers steadily appear, called forth by the perennial need on the part of working pastors for helpful and inspirational materials backed by tested experience, reverent scholarship, and creative insights. The essays in this book are of that cast, and each essay is the work of an experienced practitioner-scholar in the field of preaching. The chapters focus on the preaching ministry of Gardner Calvin Taylor, in whose honor the volume was prepared. They are offered, with affection and esteem, by colleagues, students, and friends, fellow preachers all, whose own attempts to speak the unsearchable riches of Christ owe much to the life and labors of Gardner C. Taylor. Considered by many as the greatest living American preacher, Gardner C. Taylor has often reminded other preachers about the need for divine help in fulfilling the call: All in all, a summons to the ministry is no light calling. The work of communicating the gospel requires us to be more than we are to exceed who we are. This volume will lead readers to the realization of the need for grace and a sufficiency only found in God (2 Cor 3:5 KJV) as indicated by the title.
