The Preparation and Delivery of Sermons
Book •
John Broadus's The Preparation and Delivery of Sermons is a foundational homiletics manual from the 19th century that systematically addresses sermon composition, structure, and oral delivery techniques.
The work was widely used in American seminaries and among pastors, shaping preaching conventions and pedagogical approaches.
Broadus blends practical advice with theological reflection, aiming to equip ministers for effective proclamation.
Over time many editions became heavily revised, prompting modern scholars like Leland Brown to produce critical editions restoring the original text for contemporary readers and historians of preaching.
