Summary "The Preacher and His Models" by James Stalker is a collection of lectures on preaching delivered at Yale University in the late 19th century. This work explores the principles and practices of effective preaching, emphasizing the importance of the preacher's character, calling, and commitment to God, with a focus on the biblical prophets and apostles as models. Stalker presents a thorough examination of the roles and responsibilities of modern preachers in the context of their spiritual and societal impact. The opening of the book outlines Stalker's approach to understanding preaching through the lens of scriptural examples, particularly the calls and lives of Old Testament prophets like Isaiah. Acknowledging the honor of being invited to deliver these lectures, he reflects on the differences between academic knowledge and the realities faced by those engaged in ministry. He emphasizes that successful preaching requires a deep personal relationship with God and a continual engagement with the divine in one's life. By examining the prophetic calls, Stalker establishes a framework that encourages prospective ministers to cultivate their spiritual lives and draws parallels to the challenges of contemporary ministry.
