description: According to Kenton Anderson professor of homiletics at ACTS Seminaries of Trinity Western University this volume represents a powerful tool because it offers a new (actually old) model of preaching. For centuries preaching has been shaped from a literary standpoint (i.e. reading writing outlining and displaying sermons). But a pre-modern method of oral preparation and delivery largely has been forgotten. Preaching by Ear hearkens back to an earlier era when sermons were rooted inside the preacher and moved out in a natural and powerful way. Table of ContentsPrologue Part 1: Preparing the Preacher 1.
