Abstract

This project is designed to analyze the preaching of the five Senior Ministers of The Riverside Church in the City of New York, Harry Emerson Fosdick, Robert J. McCracken, Ernest T. Campbell, William Sloan Coffin, Jr., and James A. Forbes, Jr. and determine if principles of biblical preaching can be extrapolated from their preaching ministries. By examining the biographies, times, congregations, literature, message and sermon methods of these five preachers whose ministries span a 70-year period, we may be able to extract techniques that can be useful for contemporary preachers to be more relevant communicators of the Word of God. The project begins with biblical foundations for preaching and moves to the specific times in which these five preachers spoke to their congregations, communities and society. The target audience is theological students in a preaching course as an addition to the homiletics curriculum.
