Scott Gibson and Matthew Kim, both experienced preachers and teachers, have brought together four preaching experts--Bryan Chapell, Kenneth Langley, Abraham Kuruvilla, and Paul Scott Wilson--to present and defend their approaches to homiletics. Reflecting current streams of thought in homiletics, the book offers a robust discussion of theological and hermeneutical approaches to preaching and encourages pastors and ministry students to learn about preaching from other theological traditions. It also includes discussion questions for direct application to one's preaching.

"This book surfaces what is unconscious, and sharpens what is fuzzy, in our approach to preaching--namely, the theological and hermeneutical underpinnings that subtly shape our sermons. Four authors cogently argue for their approach and graciously interact with others. Nuggets of wisdom, insights, and felicitous expressions abound. A stimulating and profitable book!"
--Donald R. Sunukjian, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

"A team of outstanding preachers and teachers of preaching demonstrate four approaches to the task of hermeneutics in service of preaching. Since interpreting the text is a necessary step in the preaching process, this useful volume will help preachers approach that step with greater understanding and effectiveness."
--Michael Duduit, executive editor, Preaching magazine; dean, Clamp Divinity School, Anderson University

"An interesting and provocative conversation between four professor-practitioners of preaching, illuminating the strengths of each one's approach to the biblical and theological roots of preaching while graciously naming the weaknesses. This book equips readers to understand their own inclinations in hermeneutics and homiletics and enables them to identify the inclinations of others. Helpful and clarifying."
--Mary S. Hulst, college chaplain, Calvin College

"I don't know why this book hasn't been written already--it is such a vital topic for preachers--but it is certainly welcome now. It is a model of clarity and courteous debate among those who long to preach the word of God in a faithful, lively fashion today. Worth reading and pondering slowly."
--Derek Tidball, former principal, London School of Theology

"Gibson and Kim have gathered four respected voices in contemporary preaching that we seldom hear together. Anyone familiar with the recent decades in homiletics will recognize that some preachers are sequestered within a certain tradition but not heard outside that tradition. This innovative and unprecedented volume gives us a quartet of viewpoints never heard in exactly this way. It will spark discussion and response in the academy and the pulpit."
--Joel C. Gregory, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University
