The Preacher's Portrait: Five New Testament Word Studies
Convinced that knowing the Word of God is fundamental to preaching, John Stott here presents brief studies of five New Testament metaphors that characterize steward, herald, witness, father, and servant. In the course of these five studies, Stott discusses the message and authority of preachers, the character of their proclamation, the vital necessity of their own experience of the gospel, and their motives and moral qualities, particularly humility, gentleness, and love. A biblically faithful portrayal of what preachers are supposed to be emerges from Stott’s reflections —as he says, “a portrait painted by the hand of God himself on the broad canvas of the New Testament.”

Not bad. A few good ideas.
But shame on the editor, Isobel Stevenson, for updating a book that isn't even 100 years old! She is just trying to bring a decent book more in line with her garbage heresies, one being women preachers. Hahaha. What a fool.

This is a good solid exposition of five words used to describe the office and function of men and women who are called to preach. Not the most exciting read, but plenty of wise insight here.
