Applying the Sermon: How to Balance Biblical Integrity and Cultural Relevance

Author(s):

Even the most seasoned homileticians balk at sermon application. Why? Because
application requires preachers to toss a grenade-like “thus saith the Lord” into
people’s lives, and to do so repeatedly. -From the introduction

Despite the concern many pastors feel when it comes to sermon application, most
homiletics texts devote little more than a chapter, if that, to this vital
topic. Daniel Overdorf has filled this glaring gap with Applying the Sermon.
This book equips preachers to develop sermon application that grows
from the biblical text and addresses the needs of contemporary congregations.
