Kenton C. Anderson Books

Integrative Preaching offers a compelling conceptual model of biblical preaching that helps preachers better understand what they are doing when they step into the pulpit. Kenton Anderson, an experienced preacher and professor, explicates the integrative preaching model he has been honing for a lifetime. His fresh, holistic approach aims at whole-person transformation and is well suited for contemporary listeners. The book includes theoretical underpinnings and practical guidance to both instruct students and motivate working preachers. Sample sermons show how the model unfolds in actual sermons.

The book addresses the evolving landscape of preaching, urging current and future ministers to embrace biblical sermons despite modern challenges. Kenton Anderson emphasizes the flexibility of sermon forms, offering various approaches that cater to both the biblical text and the audience. He outlines five distinct sermon structures—Declarative, Pragmatic, Narrative, Visionary, and Integrative—each illustrated with examples from notable preachers. Additionally, it includes discussion questions and practical exercises to enhance the reader's preaching skills.
