“Preaching is a charisma . . . it is a spiritual gift. SUrely there is much in preaching which is human skill or literary art, but none of it is nearly as central as the fact that preaching is a charisma . . . [Paul] realized that what made his ministry real was not his intelligence, nor even his training, but the fact that God had anointed him, that God blessed his work. He submitted himself entirely to God. Somehow this is possible with truly great minds. They seem to be able as the consummate stroke of genius to arrive at great simplicity” (Hughes Oliphant Old, The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures, Vol. 1, p. 200).
