In 2017, Jeffrey D. Arthurs wrote, Preaching As Reminding, a book that focuses on preachers as remembrancers.  Arthurs is professor of preaching and communications at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is past president of the Evangelical Homiletics Society.  Arthurs presents a thorough investigation into preaching as reminding giving yet another perspective to preachers regarding their work.  The book is both theoretical and practical.  Arthurs affirms that every sermon does not have to be novel.  The preacher’s role is that of reminding his audience of the great things God has done.  He warns that reminding is not nagging and that no one desires to be nagged.  Reminding that is biblically centered prompts thankfulness, raises hope, prompts repentance, fosters humility, helps believers walk wisely, warns of unbelief and disobedience, encourages belief and obedience, prompts mercy and forms individual and communal identity.  I have written a book review and put it under the book reviews page on my blog.  You can access the four-page review there.
