Although originally published in 1982, John Stott’s Between Two Worlds: The Challenge of Preaching Today (Wm. B. Eerdmans) holds up remarkably well more than 30 years later. This classic homiletics text uses the metaphor of the bridge to describe the preacher as the link between the ancient text and the modern world. Stott emphasizes the urgency of expository preaching as an essential tool in today’s church.
