The Modern Pulpit

The title of this volume will readily suggest its object. It is an attempt to interpret the preaching of our day. It undertakes to get back of it, into its sources, to characterize its distinctive peculiarities and to estimate its value. It would look at the preaching of our day in the light of those chief agencies of the modern world that have powerfully affected it. It is the Protestant pulpit that furnishes the material of our investigation. - Preface.

Do you get your understanding about God and his plan of salvation from the Bible or from the pulpit? If an honest self-evaluation reveals that you are relying more on the words of men than the Word of God for your relationship with God and your eternal destiny, you need to read this book! This book is not written to liberal theologians and Christians who may believe or assume the Bible is not the sole authority on spiritual matters. Rather, it is written to those who truly believe the Bible to be the literal and inspired Word of God and understand God’s plan of salvation to be revealed in biblical truth. Unfortunately, in much of the modern church, the increasing trend is toward teaching the doctrines of men instead of what the Bible actually says. In these times, it is critically important that we follow the example of the Bereans, who examined scripture to see if what was said is true. The result is that many in the pews who think they are on Christ’s narrow way that leads to eternal life are being deceived. This book tells the truth that every evangelical pastor and Christian should know about what the Bible really says about salvation.
