aBeLOG
Welcome to the aBeLOG, a series of (hopefully!) fortnightly posts on all matters homiletical. I intend to touch on whatever grabs my attention regarding preaching—issues contemporary and ancient, ideas hermeneutical and rhetorical, personalities conservative and liberal, publications antiquarian and avant-garde. Essentially, I’m going to follow my own homiletical olfactory instincts up rabbit trails and after red herrings. Comments are always invited and appreciated.
Hershael York: How I Preach
Hershael York: And this is How I Preach …
[I’m happy to present Hershael on How I Preach. A fellow-member of the Evangelical Homiletics Society, he holds up the fort of preaching at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. As you will see, he’s one cool guy. I’ve enjoyed being around him, most recently teaching a PhD class at Southern last month. Enjoy his wisdom!]

Mark 15:40−16:8
Disciples restored by God’s grace continue to be faithful to Jesus, ready to undertake another round of the journey of discipleship with Jesus.
“But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’”
And going out, they [the women] fled from the tomb, for trembling and terror had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Mark 16:7–8

Walt Kaiser: How I Preach
Walt Kaiser: And this is How I Preach …
[Walt is a giant—in more ways than one! Past President of Gordon-Conwell, he has been involved in every stripe of evangelical scholarship, dispatching his remarks, scripting his papers, responding to questioners, with panache and pizzazz, energy and élan, zest and wit! For the last forty years! I have had the privilege to share podiums with him at meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society. For all his acumen and erudition,
Interview on Genesis: A Theological Commentary for Preachers
Here’s a recent interview of me conducted by my friend and once-Seminary-classmate, Dr. Charles Savelle. It ran the other day on his informative blog that deals with all matters related to Bible exposition. I’ve borrowed it off his website; you can find the interview here.]

Stuart Briscoe: How I Preach
Stuart Briscoe: And this is How I Preach …
[Stuart and I shared a pulpit a few months ago at Moody Bible Institute’s Founder’s Week in Chicago. There, I persuaded him to let us in on his preaching techniques and schemes. The man has been preaching for almost seven decades. And he’s still going strong, teaching the Bible across oceans and on every continent, after having pastored Elmbrook Church, in Brookfield, Wisconsin, the largest church in that state, for thirty
A New Commentary!
This is a rehash of an old post, to announce my new commentary that’s just come out: Genesis: A Theological Commentary for Preachers.
I’m frequently asked by my students about commentaries I employ in my preaching prep.
The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly. The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But
