NEW REVIEW: A well organised presentation of the views of Archibald Alexander, first lecturer of Princeton Seminary, on the ministry and preaching. Following an opening biographical chapter, this book has all the value and more of Bridges' renowned The Christian Ministry. Chapters on the call to ministry, and the moral and mental qualifications are full and searching, and those on sermon preparation and organisation yield much sound advice. There are chapters on the substance of sermons, the manner of preaching (with exceptional material), and the difficulties and challenges of the ministry.
