The McCarter Biblical Theology of Preaching
The Key
Principles are as Follows:
1. Modern preaching is primarily the Sunday
morning sermon.
2. The sermon should include both preaching
(proclamation) and teaching (explanation).
3. The primary objective of a sermon is to
explain Scripture.
4. The rule for preaching, although there may be
exceptions, is that the preacher should attempt to exposit one passage at a
time.
5. Preferably, the pastor/teacher will work
through a book of the Bible from beginning to end.
6. A preacher should continuously demonstrate
the Bible’s grand narrative, or what’s called the metanarrative.
7. The preaching event should be held in utmost
honor by both the preacher and the listeners.
8. A sermon does not need to be flashy,
rambunctious, or even clever.
