About the Author

Called a "preaching genius" by CNN, Fred Craddock (1928-2015) was Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching and New Testament, emeritus, at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, and minister emeritus of Cherry Log Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He was a sought-after lecturer, an author of several books, and a captivating storyteller.

Editorial Reviews

"When this book first appeared three decades ago, it helped lead a major shift in homiletical thought and introduced the phrase 'inductive preaching' into the language of American preaching. Much of the conversation and debate in preaching over the past generation was launched by this volume and the books that followed and engaged it. Now revised and with new sermons included, those who are serious about understanding the homiletical scene will want to take advantage of this opportunity to understand Craddock's contribution (and challenge) to our work."
