Classic Christian work
The Art of Prophesying
by William Perkins
The foundational Puritan manual on preaching and sermon craft. Drawing on Augustine, Beza, and other Reformed divines, it lays out a clear, fourfold method: read Scripture plainly, interpret it by Scripture itself, gather sound doctrines from the text, and apply them simply to the hearer's conscience and life. Its famous summary — "Preach one Christ by Christ to the praise of Christ" — shaped generations of Reformed preachers and remains an indispensable guide to biblical proclamation.
