Nine Lectures On Preaching

By R.W. Dale

Published by Hodder and Stoughton: London 1886

"Nine Lectures on Preaching by R. W. Dale is a substantial and influential work on homiletics by one of the most respected English Nonconformist theologians of the nineteenth century. Delivered originally at Yale University in New Haven, these lectures combine theological depth with practical wisdom, addressing the spiritual responsibility of the preacher, the intellectual discipline required for effective sermons, and the moral authority that must underpin Christian proclamation. Dale emphasises preaching as a living engagement between Scripture, conscience, and contemporary life, rejecting empty rhetoric in favour of clarity, conviction, and spiritual sincerity. This 1886 London edition, issued by Hodder and Stoughton as the Fifth Edition, reflects the book's wide circulation and enduring reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. Dale's lucid prose and balanced approach made the work a standard reference for ministers in training as well as established clergy seeking renewal in their preaching vocation. It is particularly appealing to collectors of Victorian religious literature, students of homiletics, and readers interested in the intellectual and spiritual life of nineteenth-century Protestant Christianity."
