Description
This book guides congregational leaders in the art of preaching through a step-by-step process. Author and pastor David Buttrick wrote the book to improve readers’ understanding of theory and technique in preaching.
Buttrick divides the basics of sermons into two sections: Moves and Structures. Moves focuses on components such as images or other ideas that can be interpreted through the effective use of language. Structures explains how to employ key features of a sermon to serve the overall point you’ re trying to make.
