Title
What Is Preaching?
Adam Copenhaver
Abstract
This paper constructs a definition of preaching so that we can both better appreciate the role of preaching in the life of the church and better discern what it means to preach well. As we proceed, we will consider (1) the problem with terminology, (2) three levels of word ministry and where preaching fits within them, (3) a proposed definition of preaching, and (4) warnings regarding making too much and too little of preaching.
