Methods of Exposition
There are three ways in which texts are selected for exposition:
- use of a lectionary (common in many mainline denominational churches),
- lectio continuo, where each passage of the bible is read consecutively on each successive Sunday, or
- letting the preacher or individual church decide which books or passages are examined (common in evangelical churches from both mainline denominations and independent churches).

“Art is beauty, and every exposition of art, whether it be music, painting, or the drama, should be subservient to that one great end. As long as nature is a means to the attainment of beauty, so-called realism is necessary and permissable [sic], but it must be realism enhanced by idealism and uplifted by the spirit of an inner life or purpose.”
—Julia Marlowe (1866–1950)
