A Survey Of Representative Lutheran Preachers Concerning Technical Language In The Exposition Of Selected Doctrines, Theodore W. Schubkegel

Bachelor of Divinity

Bachelor of Divinity

"A good speaker or preacher is born, not made." "You either have effectiveness or you don’t." Such statements are often made by students who fail to recognize the importance of developing themselves in the art of speaking, or by pastors who feel that they have no time for improving themselves in that matter of delivery. But it must be remembered that there is room for a great deal of improvement in every speaker. When the thought to be expressed concerns the soul-winning, redemptive news of God, it places great responsibility and privilege on the speaker.
