Contributor
John Henry Jowett was an English preacher who became known as the "greatest practitioner of the homiletic art of his time." He grew up in a Christian home and always gave credit to his parents for what he became. He also credited his childhood Sunday School teacher as a great influence. His teacher's vivid lessons made a great impression. He pastored numerous great churches in England and crossed the Atlantic to preach in America many times. He was a stylist of preachers who cared greatly for words, so much so that he studied the dictionary as a textbook. His sermons were well studied, but not bookish, always committed to the grand themes of the Christian faith. He was a voluminous writer, with many of his works still in print today.
