The Rhetoric of the Pulpit, Second Edition

Preaching & Worship

“Jon M. Ericson has done a superb job of matching classical rhetorical lore with the preacher’s hopes of arousing the congregation first to understand the Word and then to act on that understanding. The practical everyday tasks of sermon preparation are carefully grounded in time-tested principles. The result is an exciting new approach that should appeal to both the veteran and novice preacher.”
