Forum on Expository Preaching:  "The Use of Logic in Sermon Preparation"  Tuesday June 21, 10:00 - 3:15





	The unique thrust of this year’s Forum on Expository Preaching will be the use of formal and informal logic in preaching. Our expositor, Dr. Michael P. Andrus, has been an EFCA pastor in Wichita and St. Louis for the past 36 years. However, he had a prior career teaching logic on the college level for five years. He will try to demonstrate, through lecture and preaching, how a knowledge of logic can play a significant role in exposition, as it did in the biblical author’s writing.
