Pulpit Crimes

White sets out to examine numerous "crimes" being commited in pulpits throughout the land every week, as he seeks to leave no stone unturned. Based firmly upon the bedrock of Holy Scripture, one "crime" after another is laid bare for all to see. What is good preaching, and how do we recognize it? Does anyone today give a second thought to the idea that maybe, just maybe, what our God would consider to be "good preaching" might well look fundamentally different from what we would identify as "good preaching"? In the wider realm of "evangelicalism" today, the idea that there is a biblical norm for preaching, a divine standard, is almost never discussed. instead, one overriding standard exists: pragmatism. If it "works," it is good preaching. If it doesn't, well, it isn't. - Publisher.
