Extensively researched, this ‘theological biography’ will stimulate the discussion about role of the Imagination in Christian preaching and the way it was mastered by one of the most influential preachers of the last century.

This is the first book to be written about James S. Stewart since his death in 1990, and forms a perfect companion to all previously published collections of Stewart's sermons. Krueger introduces the reader to the life and work of this magnificent communicator of the Christian Faith, presenting not only his lectures and publications, but also his preaching legacy.
