The Making and the Unmaking of the Preacher is a book written by William Jewett Tucker and first published in 1898. The book is a collection of essays that explore the role of the preacher in society and the challenges faced by those who aspire to become preachers. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the education and training of preachers, the importance of preaching in the church, and the ethical responsibilities of preachers. Tucker argues that the role of the preacher is crucial in shaping the moral and spiritual values of society, and that the preacher must be well-educated, thoughtful, and committed to his or her calling. He also emphasizes the importance of preaching that is relevant to the needs and concerns of the congregation, and that speaks to the challenges of the modern world.The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the making of the preacher, exploring the education and training that is necessary to become an effective preacher. The second part examines the challenges that preachers face in their work, including the need to balance their personal beliefs with the expectations of their congregation. The final part of the book explores the unmaking of the preacher, examining the ethical challenges that preachers may face and the ways in which they can maintain their integrity in the face of temptation and adversity.Overall, The Making and the Unmaking of the Preacher is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the role of the preacher in society, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of preaching.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
