Malchus’ Ear and Other Sermons

by Dennis F. Kinlaw; edited by Cricket Albertson

“It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” (I Corinthians 1:21 KJV) The gospel is best communicated not through books on theology, philosophical debates, or audio-visual wizardry. It is through “the foolishness of preaching” that men and women are brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. For twenty centuries, the Christian faith has been spread by those who with boldness, creativity, and power proclaimed Jesus as Lord. Dennis Kinlaw was a scholar, professor, college administrator, and author. But he was first and foremost a preacher. To be more specific, he was an evangelist. Based in Scripture, his sermons stimulated the mind and penetrated the heart at the same time. Academicians and farmers, old and young, and people from a wide variety of cultures heard him gladly. And many bore witness to how God worked a change in their lives through his preaching. This book is a collection of sermons that typify the pulpit ministry of Dennis Kinlaw. The sermons in this volume were chosen because they summarize the heart of Kinlaw’s theology, they touch both mind and heart, and they proclaim the sin-destroying power of the gospel to enable men and women to walk in holiness.
