Learning from Great Preachers

This is an instruction manual on homiletics or the art of preaching - the preparation, construction and delivery of sermons. It was prepared by the author over a lifetime of Christian missionary work in China and Japan. He draws on his experience from rural evangelistic work in China to lecturing to Bible college students in Japan. His aim throughout is to give guidance on good practice from the example of noted preachers of the twentieth century and before. The basics of the book first appeared in Japanese under the title 'Sermon Preparation'.
