Applying the Sermon: How to Balance Biblical Integrity and Cultural Relevance
Finally a tool to help Pastors shape applications that so many congregations          have long desired.Even the most seasoned homileticians balk at sermon application. Why? Because          application requires preachers to toss a grenade-like "thus saith the Lord" into          people's lives, and to do so repeatedly.-From the introductionDespite the concern many pastors feel when it comes to sermon application, most          homiletics texts devote little more than a chapter, if that, to this vital          topic. Daniel Overdorf has filled this glaring gap withApplying the Sermon.          This book equips preachers  to develop sermon application that grows          from the biblical text and addresses the needs of contemporary congregations.Each chapter includes snippets of interviews with five of today's most respected          homileticians--Haddon Robinson,Will Willimon,Tom Long,Vic Pentz, andBob Russell. A great addition to any pastoral library,          and a valuable resource for Bible college and seminary courses, Overdorf'sApplying the Sermonalso includes an extensive bibliography and a sermon          application worksheet to give pastors a chance to acquire hands-on experience          with these techniques.
