The Preacher's Portrait Some New Testament Word Studies

"THE PREACHER'S PORTRAIT is a fresh and practical study of the terms employed in the New Testament to describe the minister and his task. "We need," states Dr. Stott, "to gain in the Church today a clearer view of God's revealed ideal for the preacher, what he is and how he is to do his work. So I shall be considering his message and his authority, the character of the proclamation he is called to make, the vital necessity of his own experience of the Gospel, the nature of his motive, the source of his power, and the moral qualities which should characterize him, notably humility, gentleness and love. This, I suggest, is the preacher' portrait, a portrait painted by the hand of God Himself on the broad canvas of the New Testament.""
