Word of God across the ages: using Christian history in preaching

---

Professor Leonard's insightful exegesis of Christian history vividly demontrates the power of personal story communicate the Word of God. In his enlarged edition he returns to the roots of the Baptist story to find in the lives of John Smyth, Thomas Helwys, and Roger Williams epic examples of the potent presence of the gospel in earthen vessels. The story of early Baptists is recognized as an experiment in ''radical faith" that often led to "improvising grace."Readers and hearers of these sermons, as well as of those sermons that issue from other preacher's who follow Leonard in pursuing the disclosure of the divine Word in human history through the ages, will find themselves challenged to take up a risky faith that truts the coping power of grace,.
