Expository Preaching - Methods of Exposition

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).

Famous quotes containing the words methods and/or exposition:

    Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.
