    About this ebook

    \The Story of Preaching is a fresh look at the preacher and preaching from the early days of the Church until today. It is not a history of preaching because there are some obvious gaps in the timeline. What I have attempted to do is to describe the preacher and the characteristics of the period in which he or she lived. One of the things which I have tried to do is to show how the preachers handled the issues of their day. One of my objectives in doing this is to help the preachers of my day to address the issues of this era as the preachers of old addressed the issues in their time. The book will show that some who dared to challenge the attitudes of their day faced many challenges, and some even faced death because of their commitment to apply the principles of the gospel to the status quo of their day. However, the book will show that there were those who challenged the mode of their time without facing death or threats of death. They found a way to present their concerns to their constituents in a way that lead to success.

    T.A. Prickett

    T.A. Prickett, a native of Verbena, Alabama, was born near the end of the Great Depression in 1934. In 1950, his family moved from rural Verbena to Montgomery, Alabama. In Montgomery, he attended Starke University School, a military school for boys, from which he graduated in 1952. After graduating from Samford University in Birmingham in 1957, he served for three years as associate pastor of Forest Lake Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa. He continued his education at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, from which he received two post-graduate degrees. During his seminary days, he was pastor of the Bethabara Baptist Church in Daviess County, Kentucky. He served as pastor of the Seven Hills Baptist Church in Owensboro, Kentucky, for thirty-four years, retiring in 1999. He was active in Baptist life in Kentucky, having served in positions of leadership on numerous committees and as an elected officer of the Kentucky Baptist Convention in 1973. Since retirement, T.A. has served as interim pastor in several churches. He has published the following books: We Preach Christ, For Our Age of Anxiety, A Portrait of Jesus, and Faith in Ever'day Clothes. He has also written his memoirs, A Cold Day in July: The Memoirs of a Baptist Preacher.
