Book excerpt: This project analyzed the style (the choice and use of words) of three itinerant preachers, Hadedon W. Robinson, Richard Allen Farmer, and Crawford W. Loritts. The effectiveness of theswe preachers is evident in the great demand for them as speakers in a large variety of contexts (i.e., local churches, conventions, conferences, and other special events) and as teachers of homiletics at Christian colleges and/or seminaries. It measured the presense and strength of elements that define style, according to authorities in rhetorical, communicational, and homiletical theory and practice, and thereby answered the question, "What elements comprise an effective preaching style as observed in the style of these three itinerant preachers?" The answer to that question provided essential data for formulating principles that can be applied by other preachers to enhance their own effectivess.
