On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons

John A. Broadus’s Treatise On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons is a classic work in the field of homiletics. Its value is proven by its continued use, well over a century after its original publication. E. C. Dargan's revision is arguably the best volume for understanding Broadus’s ideas. Prepared in 1897 (two years after Broadus’s death), it incorporates changes that Broadus intended to make, and had discussed with Dargan. Accordingly, this edition represents Broadus at his best, matured through twenty-five years of preaching and studying and teaching the subject.

"This edition of Broadus' classic work on preaching is simply the best that ever appeared It reflects the mature thinking of the author and incorporates many of his private notes from lectures that he himself planned to incorporate into a revised edition before his death in 1895...Its reappearance in our day will be a great aid to encouraging the recovery of biblical, applicatory preaching."
