Thank you for interviewing Dr. Taylor. His reference to the horizontal and vertical is a vision to be remembered. Dr. Taylor stated also that Black preacher need to write out their sermons to be published in order for the gospel "His Story" to be available in print. There are many of sermons heard 52 or more days yearly.
Thank you dear brother Min. Wright for this interview. Give your writing that immortality that which belongs to print. What a statement. He was in time talking about Jesus what God is in eternity the portrait and perfect picture of the Father. Jesus is left out in most preaching bc His life was not successful according to our standards. This man dropped so many wise gems in this interview. Thank you Dr. Taylor for reminding us to preach not a candy gospel, but a meaty gospel!
I have had the opportunity to meet Dr. Taylor and he is great in terms of being a picturesque preacher of the Gospel. He is not necessarily exegetical bringing out the cultural, historical and making use of the ancient language of the Biblical text, he basically is/was "thematic" in his approach to the text which is certainly good. However, I believe the ancient language, culture, and history uncovers the true message of the text. Consequently, one can walk away with God's intended meaning of His Word.
Dr. Taylor was so gracious in this interview. This was a terrible interview. This man was probably the greatest preacher to grace an American pulpit and yet he wasn’t asked one question about his preaching. We could have learned about how he prepared. We could have learned the influence of rhetoric on his homiletics. There is so much we could have learned directly from the horses mouth. The Brother was more concerned about setting Dr. Taylor up to speak out against female preachers and current preachers. 😢😢
