Preaching

This is a practical book about preaching, written for preachers by two theologians who themselves preach each Sunday. This useful guide is grounded in an innovative and highly original theory about the nature of preaching known as the SIFT method (sensing, intuition, thinking and feeling), which draws together the best of contemporary scholarship about hermeneutics with compelling insights from modern research concerning psychological type. Leslie Francis and Andrew Village provide concrete examples of the SIFT method of biblical hermeneutics and liturgical preaching. This approach releases the gospel message to be proclaimed and to be heard in a full and rounded manner that touches all of the human mind and soul.
