Reviews

"Dr. Grimenstein's A Lutheran Primer for Preaching is the first confessional Lutheran framework on preaching produced in more than a generation. Not since Richard Caemmerer has a Missouri Synod homiletician offered a theological and practical approach to Law and Gospel preaching that is both textual and Christological. Grimenstein covers the theological foundation of preaching and then offers a practical 5-page method for developing a sermon that brings out the Word of God for the Lord's people in a meaningful way. The book originally was conceived as a primer for preaching to be used in the mission field, but its value expands beyond the mission field as a helpful tool for seminarians, new pastors, and experienced pastors who would like to hone their preaching skills."
