The Decay of Modern Preaching: An Essay, written by John Pentland Mahaffy in 1882, is a critical analysis of the state of preaching in the modern era. Mahaffy, a prominent Irish classicist and educator, argues that preaching has lost its power and influence due to a decline in the quality of sermons and the lack of preparation and training among preachers.Mahaffy begins by examining the historical evolution of preaching, tracing its origins in ancient Greece and Rome and its development in the Christian church. He then discusses the decline of preaching in the modern era, citing examples of uninspired and poorly constructed sermons that fail to engage and inspire their audiences.Mahaffy identifies several factors contributing to the decay of modern preaching, including the decline of religious faith, the rise of secularism, and the lack of rigorous theological education among preachers. He also suggests solutions to these problems, including the need for preachers to be well-educated and trained in the art of rhetoric and to deliver sermons that are relevant, engaging and inspiring.Overall, The Decay of Modern Preaching is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the challenges facing contemporary preaching and the steps that can be taken to revitalize this important aspect of religious life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
