Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preacher and His Sermon: A Treatise on Homiletics "I have examined in manuscript a proposed work on Homiletics by the Rev. J. W. Etter. The arrangement of the book is philosophical, and its style clear and animated. It is full of happy suggestions, calculated to elevate a student's views of the sacred ministry, and at the same time stimulate and instruct him. I cheerfully and heartily commend the work to students of theology, and to active pastors who desire to know more perfectly how to divide the word of truth." Rev. S. F. Upham, D. D., Professor of Practical Theology, Drew Theological Seminary. "It affords me pleasure to indorse the favorable judgment of Dr. Upham on Rev. J. W. Etter's proposed book on Homiletics. In freshness and vigor of style, and in the thorough grasp of the whole subject, it will no doubt take its place among the standard works of the time, and will command a reading not only by students and ministers, but also by intelligent laymen. It can not fail to increase the effectiveness of our rising ministry." Rev. Henry A. Buttz, D. D., President, and Professor of New Testament Exegesis, Drew Theological Seminary. "I have carefully looked over your proposed book on Homiletics, especially the introductory part on the use of a text, and am very much pleased with its direct and simple clearness. I hope you will complete it, as I think it will make a valuable text-book." Prof. James Strong, S. T. D., Professor of Exegetical Theology, Drew Theological Seminary, and Member of Bible-Revision Committee. "The outline plan and a number of chapters of the new work on Homiletics, 'The Preacher and His Sermon, ' have been before me. I have read them with interest. The arrangement is methodical, yet natural and simple, and it will be serviceable to students, ministers, and laymen. The author shows familiarity with the literature of this subject, which is voluminous, and he brings to us the most valuable conclusions from it. The style is clear. You are never left in doubt as to what the author means, and withal there is freshness of statement. It is the most suitable text-book that has yet appeared, and I doubt not will be used in this Seminary." Rev. G. A. Funkhouser, D. D., Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Homiletics, Union Biblical Seminary. "Having examined with care the outlines and several written chapters of Rev. J. W. Etter's proposed work on Homiletics, or, 'The Preacher and His Sermon, ' I can honestly say, that numerous as are works on this subject, this one promises to be the best of those that are adapted for use as a text-book in the class-room. What is taken from other books is wisely chosen and presented with skill and freshness. What is original, entirely new matter, is a valuable addition to the science of Homiletics." Rev. William H. Hornblower, D. D., Late Professor of Sacred Rhetoric, Western Theological Seminary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
