Summary "The Message and the Man: Some Essentials of Effective Preaching" by J. Dodd Jackson is a religious treatise written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the art and responsibility of preaching, emphasizing the character and qualities of the preacher as fundamental to effective ministry. Jackson highlights the significance of the preacher's calling and the divine message they deliver, aiming to inspire a renaissance in Gospel preaching amidst societal shifts away from traditional values. The opening of the text introduces the author’s exploration of the essential elements that make for impactful preaching. Jackson discusses the necessity for preachers to understand their divine calling and the significance of their message in a time where declining church attendance is of great concern. He underscores that effective preaching requires not just knowledge but a profound personal connection to the truths being communicated. Additionally, he raises the importance of self-examination among preachers to assess their influence on congregational health and spirituality, advocating for a return to passionate and authentic delivery of the Gospel.
