Preaching Tools

Every effective preacher needs tools to craft faithful, text-driven sermons. However, since pastors have limited time each week and there are thousands of potential preaching resources, knowing the best commentaries and books to help in sermon preparation can be a daunting task.

In "Preaching Tools," David Allen draws from the well of more than 40 years of experience in the pulpit, both as a pastor and preaching professor, to provide the top commentaries and resources for every book of the Bible. Resources are categorized for quick reference, and Allen's annotations provide insight into the books' strengths, weaknesses, and backgrounds.

Dr. David Allen serves as dean of the School of Preaching, distinguished professor of preaching, George W. Truett Chair of Ministry, and director of the Center for Expository Preaching at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He is the author of "1-3 John: Fellowship in God's Family" in Crossway's Preaching the Word Series, "Hebrews" in the New American Commentary series, and "Lukan Authorship of Hebrews" in the NAC Studies in the Bible & Theology Series. He is also co-editor of "Text-Driven Preaching: God's Word at the Heart of Every Sermon."
