Abstract

This project seeks to identify types of illustrations used in the Bible and today. Chapter 1 introduces this preaching project and the ministry context of First Baptist Church, Camden, Arkansas. Chapter 2 identifies five types of illustrations used in the Bible. They are an anecdote, a historical event, parables, Scripture, and visual aids. Chapter 3 moves from the Bible to the preaching of today. The first part of chapter 3 identifies types of preaching illustrations. Part two gives examples of sources of illustrations, and part three summarizes the illustration techniques and practices of five famous Christian preachers. Chapter 4 is a week-by-week account of my 1 Peter preaching project. It includes pre-sermon series questionnaires, individual sermon questionnaires, and post-sermon series questionnaires. Chapter 5 is an evaluation of the entire project. Data is analyzed. The process is critiqued. Strengths and weaknesses are addressed, and conclusions are drawn.
