The Holy Spirit and Preaching by James Forbes

The Holy Spirit and Preaching by James Forbes

Describes what it means to be anointed with the Spirit so that one can preach to raise the dead.

In The Holy Spirit and Preaching, James A. Forbes, Jr.--widely hailed as one of the nation's foremost preachers--offers four dynamic lectures originally delivered as the Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale University, the most prestigious annual preaching event in the United States.

In each of the lectures, Forbes focuses on the Holy Spirit as it relates to preaching. He traces the Holy Spirit's activity in Jesus' ministry and looks at the impact of being anointed by the Holy Spirit. Forbes demonstrates how the Holy Spirit works with the pastor in the preparation and delivery of a sermon. The Holy Spirit and Preaching concludes by focusing on the need for anointed preaching, and the way anointed preaching happens today.

The Reverend Dr. James A. Forbes Jr. is founder and president of the Healing of the Nations Foundation, senior minister emeritus of Riverside Church, and Harry Emerson Fosdick Distinguished Professor at Union Theological Seminary. He has hosted The Time Is Now on Air America Radio. Forbes is the author of Whose Gospel?: A Concise Guide to Progressive Protestantism (The New Press). He lives in New York City.
