The Path to the Pulpit

The Path to the Pulpit: Four Ancient Questions for Faithful Preaching by Andrew Hébert and Mitchell L. Chase offers a practical framework for sermon preparation that helps pastors and ministers view every Scripture passage from all angles. This book connects to the enduring wisdom and ancient questions in the history of interpretation, in order to show what writers and theologians have asked about Scripture throughout Church History. Preachers will learn to ask four essential questions of each text:

• What does it say?
• How does it connect to the gospel and exalt Christ?
• How does it shape me as a disciple?
• How does it stir hope for the future?

By exploring these questions, ministers can uncover the historical richness of each passage, relate it to God’s redemptive work, apply it clearly to listeners’ lives, and guide their congregation toward hope rooted in Christ’s promises.
