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 of, methods and/or exposition:

    If men got pregnant, there would be safe, reliable methods of birth control. They’d be inexpensive, too.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    Men are like plants; the goodness and flavor of the fruit proceeds from the peculiar soil and exposition in which they grow. We are nothing but what we derive from the air we breathe, the climate we inhabit, the government we obey, the system of religion we profess, and the nature of our employment.
    —Michel Guillaume Jean De Crevecoeur (1735–1813)
