Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) is widelycelebrated as one of the most eloquent divines in the Reformedtradition. And yet there is a curious gap between Bavinck thetheologian and the preachers who read him in the present day. How Bavinck preached, or what and how he thought about theact of preaching, are largely unknown. The largest barrier is thathis writings on preaching were previously untranslated-untilnow. Herman Bavinck on Preaching & Preachers is a welcometranslation from Dutch of Bavinck's thoughts on preaching andpreachers, and includes one of his only written sermons. For Bavinck, the sermon was the most important part of theworship service, and the preaching of the word is the decisivemark of the church. He believed that the preacher must be astudent of the word, search it in all its riches and depth, in itsunity and diversity. Translator and editor James Eglinton describesthis book as a "useful and very interesting text on how to preachtheology" and a "message that sorely needs to be heard if pulpitsduring our own time are to improve." This is the first time thisbook is in print. Herman Bavinck on Preaching & Preachers hasnever been published before in either Dutch or English. | Herman Bavinck On Preaching And Preachers by James P.
