Preach the Word: Towards effective grassroots preacher training in sub-Saharan Africa.

by Myles MacBean

Overview

How should we help equip the church leaders of Africa today? There remains a well-documented lack of theologically sound, Bible-centric preaching in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of sermons are preached by untrained church leaders. Following a practical theology praxis, this book develops a conceptual framework for the evaluation of existing “alternative” approaches to “grassroots” preacher training in Africa and proposes broad principles for effective preacher training.
