Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Early Reprint. A concise but insightful survey by John Ker (1819?1886), a Scottish Presbyterian minister and professor known for his thoughtful preaching and teaching. The book originated as a series of lectures delivered by Ker and was published after his death. Lectures cover the Early Church and Patristic Era; the Medieval Period; the Reformation; Post-Reformation and Puritan Era; and the 18th and 19th centuries.Rather than an exhaustive academic history, the work offers a selective, evaluative overview of preaching from the early church through the 19th century. Ker focuses on major figures, movements, and characteristics of preaching in different eras, emphasizing spiritual vitality, faithfulness to Scripture, and effectiveness rather than mere technique. His Scottish Presbyterian perspective is evident, but the treatment is broad and appreciative across traditions.ABOUT THIS COPY: This is an early reprint.
