While biblical theology has found a home in many evangelical seminaries, the same cannot be said of evangelical pulpits. "A decade in the pastorate brought on me a dawning conviction that the biblical-theological approach of the seminary classroom was excitingly rich for the pulpit ministry." (p. 5)
