Dr. MacArthur's well-known passion for the Scriptures is combined with the vision and expertise of other faculty members at The Master's Seminary to produce a definitive statement on how to unfold the meaning of God's Word effectively to today's congregation. The authors address seasoned preachers as well as those in training . . . [T]he authors call for expository preaching -- proclamation that "lays open the text to public view in order to set forth its meaning, explain what is difficult to understand, and make appropriate application."
Effective exposition requires four steps, each of which becomes a section in this book: (1) Personal preparation of the expositor (his walk with God) (2) Processing the biblical text (study tools, hermeneutics, exegesis) (3) Pulling the message together (moving from exegesis to exposition) (4) Presenting the exposition (sermon delivery)
