The foundational question of this book has nothing to do with the preacher’s looks. The main question concerns the preacher’s responsibility. What is a preacher supposed to be and do? Is he the dialogue starter? Is he a therapist? Is he a comedian? Is he the sage on a stage? Is he a CEO? For that matter, what is preaching? These general questions about preaching, along with other specific questions related to expository preaching, are addressed in this introductory chapter.
