JOHN A. BROADUS  (1827-1895)

John A. Broadus is called by some the father of American expository preaching. He was a great scholar and academic, fluent in eleven languages, and versed in the classics and in Greek.  He was a personal friend of both Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, and ministered to the Southern troops in the War Between the States.  He founded Southern Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky for the training of preachers. His book on preaching, On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons,  is still in print over 100 years after his death.  His pulpit style was direct and conversational.  He believed in a classical style of oratory, always expounding on a text and preached extemporaneously.

ALEXANDER MACLAREN  (1826-1910)

This Scottish preacher was known as the 'Prince of Expositors' and "the supreme example of the Protestant expository preacher."  His emphasis on exegeting the text was a lifelong hallmark.  He refused many preaching engagements in order to further his studies in the Word. He was fundamental is his doctrine, and never veered off the path of the historic truths.  He usually preached about 40 minutes, his voice strong and diction clear, his Scottish brogue making his words musical and penetrating. Almost always dividing his text into three parts, Robertson Nicoll said he served the Bread of Life "on a three pronged fork." Along with Spurgeon, his sermons are the most read of the 19th century.  He was truly a man that today's preacher would do well to study and emulate.

THEODORE CUYLER  (1822-1909)

Theodore Cuyler was a contemporary of Spurgeon, Finney, Parker, Talmage and most other great preachers of the era.  He was highly thought of by all lof them.  He was the son of a widow who was devoted to Christ and raised her son to know the Word of God.  He attended Princeton and made a public profession of faith while in Seminary.  He pastored a number of churches throughout his ministry and saw great moves of God in many of them.  His ministry was greatly affected by the death of one of his children and the agonies of the Civil War.  He was a prolific writer and many of his sermons remain to this day.  The reader will find them full of imagery and vivid illustrations.
