Baylor seminary names 12 leading preachers among English speakers
The seminary's Lake Center for Effective Preaching surveyed homiletics professors and chose from more than 800 nominees.
Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary has issued a list of the 12 most effective preachers in the English-speaking world, including Timothy Keller, Otis Moss III, and Barbara Brown Taylor.
“In a world where talk is cheap and there seems to be no end to it, the preacher has to recover the priority and power of the word,” said W. Hulitt Gloer, director of the Kyle Lake Center for Effective Preaching, in a statement from Baylor. “The Hebrew understanding of words is that they both say something and do something. . . . Words are the tools of the preacher and that gives them incredible power.”
The Kyle Lake Center made its selections from more than 800 nominees after conducting a survey of 179 homiletics professors from the Evangelical Homiletics Society and the Academy of Homiletics.
