John A. Broadus

John A. Broadus (1827–1895) was a Baptist minister, co-founder of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and its professor of New Testament and homiletics from 1859. Charles Spurgeon called him "the greatest of living preachers," and his On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons (1870) became a standard homiletics textbook used across denominational lines for over a century.
