Another hyperbolic review.
Whether you are a preacher or a layman, this is an amazing resource that will change how you see the art of the sermon. Many lectures such as these tend to be too "insider" and become mechanical methodologies that sound like sales tactics. But it's easy to tell that Tim Keller and Edmund Clowney LOVE Jesus and highly honor the preaching of God's Word. They also care about the hearer and desperately want them to see the beauty of Jesus. Pros: Tim Keller does an incredible job of breaking down a person's natural defenses when they hear a sermon, including many preachers' personal anxieties when preaching (such as the need for approval and touching on hard subjects). The best lectures are Applying Christ: Getting Into Their World, and Adoring Christ, particularly the last two. These will cut you to the heart. Clowney also brings some humor here and the confidence of experience. Cons: Everything is great here, but a judicious editor took our nearly ALL the pauses in the audio, so Keller and Clowney end up sounding breathless. I wish they would've left the pauses to give us time to digest, but as it is, pausing on our own will do. Bottom Line: Download and listen. I will be listening to these again and again. Also, if you do some digging online, you can find the notes and handouts that go with these lectures.

Every minister should listen through this lecture series at least once. This is a resource I keep on hand.

A brilliant preaching course which is theological, practical and engaging. Keller is easier to listen to than Clowney (who has now gone to be with Christ), but both have excellent content. Highlights are: • Keller's 'organic' approach to understanding how the OT teaches Christ • Clowney's...Read full review »
