Fundamentals of PreachingOriginally published in 1983, Fundamentals of Preaching has been a leading comprehensive textbook on preaching, guiding in the novice from the first steps of conceiving the sermon through the actual construction and delivery of it. In this new, revised form, it continues its outstanding qualities, with much input from recent homiletical studies and from the preaching of women. |

Page 88 - The moment you step into the world of facts, you step into a world of limits. You can free things from alien or accidental laws, but not from the laws of their own nature. You may, if you like, free a tiger from his bars; but do not free him from his stripes. Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump: you may be freeing him from being a camel. Do not go about as...
