The Decay Of Modern Preaching

Analyzing the decline of preaching, Mahaffy critiques its diminishing power and influence in the modern era, attributing this to poorly constructed sermons and inadequate training among preachers. He traces preaching's historical roots from ancient Greece and Rome to its evolution in the Christian church, highlighting factors like secularism and declining religious faith. Mahaffy advocates for improved theological education and a return to engaging, relevant sermons to revitalize preaching's impact. This work serves as a significant reflection on contemporary religious discourse.
