Prayer and Preaching

Prayer and Preaching  by 
Karl Barth

Pray and Preaching depicts Karl Barth’s characteristic union of simplicity and profoundness in a wonderful manner. The pages curate the Word from the Lord for revitalizing the Church today. Based on a couple of series of informal lectures that Bath attended; the first lecture he studied is a Christian prayer, particularly the Lord’s Prayer interested by Luther and Calvin whereas the second lecture ventures into the field of practical theology, exploring and discussing the vital characteristics of preaching and methods of preparing a sermon. The influence of the marriage of these studies is evident in the tone of this little book. The book comments on the trust the preachers put in the Scripture and being a notable figure and author himself, the writer remains humble when proclaiming the Word of God. Barth states that even Christians who are not responsible for composing sermons do have the responsibility of hearing God.
