More on Preaching

iMonk made a point at the BHT this morning that I had intended to make in my post on preaching:

Why does Charles Spurgeon get a pass when the reformed start a pep rally for expository preaching? He could write expository books, like Tresasury of David. You could collect his texts into sermons on a book. He wrote a commentary on Matthew. But in the pulpit, it was selected verses and topical all the way. So why wasn’t Spurgeon selling the store?

Meanwhile, that post is being called an “attack” on Expository Preaching.  I’m not sure I even feel the need to respond to that.

I wonder how the church got along for so many hundreds of years without what we now know today as expository preaching.  Imagine how good the Early Church Fathers’ sermons would have been had they only had a good expository preaching manual.
