“Our day and age, still under the shadow of the Enlightenment, naively imagines that the doctrinal sermon is boring and that sermons like these must have been tedious. A less beclouded day will probably recognize this prejudice as a rather peculiar form of pietistic agnosticism. The history of preaching is filled with examples of great doctrinal preachers who drew enthusiastic, thoughtful, and, indeed, large congregations” (Hughes Oliphant Old, The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures, Vol. II, p. 119).
