Book Cover & Preview Text
Preaching? Preaching? Expressed intentionally with a doubled interrogative as a major concern. Does this term matter? As a matter of fact, what is Preaching? We can easily call for Siri and Alexa to assist in answering that question or just go to the gods of Google according to Brianna Parker. These sources most times provide us with a shallow secular understanding of the term, totally detached from the sacred synopsis of its divine purpose. The interrogative screams to be answered, why does preaching matter if we don’t even agree on its ontology? What is it? This is the stirring question concerning the purposeful genesis of preaching which stirs my need to provide the indisputable answer!
