THE SECRET OF PULPIT POWER THROUGH THEMATIC CHRISTIAN PREACHING By Simon Blocker The most confirmed advocates of ex pository preaching turn occasionally to topical sermons. The author, professor of practical theology at the Western Theological Seminary of the Reformed Theological Seminary, feels strongly that thematic preaching is the answer to the “ current religious confusion.” The work is an excellent handbook to the construction of thematic sermons— topical, expository, textual, doctrinal, and narrative. The amillenniel position of the writer will be unacceptable to many, but no preacher will read this book without profit. 209 pages. Cloth. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., Grand Rapids, Mich. $3.00. This book is made up of hundreds of quotations from contemporary news sources bearing upon Bible doctrine and prophecy. Appropriate scriptural com ments accompany the quotations. While the work contains much of value for both minister and layman, several faults will prevent its wide usefulness. Lack of documentation makes it practi cally impossible to discover sources; the material reveals no discernible arrange ment—not even chapters; there are no indexes, either subject or Scripture. A correction of these lacks in a second edition would provide preachers with a valuable tool. 299 pages. Cloth. Union Gospel Press, Cleveland, Ohio. $3.00.
