Classic Baptist Preaching“A speaker must always subordinate narration to the object of his discourse, the conviction or persuasion which he wishes to effect. He must not elaborate or enlarge upon some narrative merely because it is in itself interesting, or follow the story step by step according to its own laws.”--John A. Broadus, On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons (1870)

Implications of Broadus’ View

Implications of Broadus’ View
• Narration is somehow detrimental to efforts to persuade.

Implications of Broadus’ View
• Narration is somehow detrimental to efforts to persuade.
• Narratives are inherently interesting.

Implications of Broadus’ View
• Narration is somehow detrimental to efforts to persuade.
• Narratives are inherently interesting.
• Narratives have their own “laws,” or methods of communicating a message.

“Exposition” in Education
Exposition is a mode of thought, a method of learning, and a meansof expression. Almost all the characteristics we associate withmature discourse were amplified by typography, which has thestrongest possible bias toward exposition . . .” --Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death

Marks of the “Expository” Mind
It demonstrates a “. . . sophisticated ability to think conceptually, deductively, and sequentially; a high valuation of reason and order; an abhorrence of contradiction; a large capacity for detachment and objectivity; and a tolerance for delayed response.” --Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death

Literacy Affects Thinking
• “Without writing, the literate mind would not and could not think as it does, not only when engaged in writing but normally even when it is composing its thoughts in oral form.” --Walter Ong

Chronological Bible Storying
Chronological Bible Storying (CBS) is a method of oral presentation that tells selected biblical stories in chronological order in the power of the Holy Spirit so as to bring people to genuine faith in Christ, mature discipleship, and fruitful Christian service. Ordinarily CBS includes a time of dialog after the story. In the dialog the storyteller uses questions to guide listeners to discover the meaning and significance of the biblical story.
