00.4-FOREWORD

FOREWORD

IT gives me pleasure to write a foreword to this excellent volume. This book has been a standard reference work in theological seminaries for many years. A flood of sermonic literature has passed from the presses of the country, yet no treatise on this subject has surpassed in clarity, logic, suggestion, and persuasion, this book by Dr. T. Harwood Pattison. "He being dead yet speaketh" through these pages. The author has dug deep into his subject. He has analyzed the whole range of sermon making. He has revealed the strength and weakness of the pulpit and offers constructive methods that will greatly help to improve modern pulpit discourse. This book deals with the fundamentals of the Art of Preaching, and fundamentals are as eternal as GOD who calls man to proclaim the Eternal Gospel.
