Well known for his teaching, writing, and editing of Magnificat, the widely popular monthly publication containing the Scripture readings and prayers for the Mass used weekly by several hundred thousand Catholics, Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., offers here expert spiritual and practical help for priests, pastors and seminarians desiring to preach effectively.
Why Preach draws from the author's rich understanding of the Word of God as the challenging, encouraging, and healing presence of Christ, as well as from his own experience as both a preacher and a teacher of homiletics. With an eye focused on the works and examples of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, Father Cameron illustrates that good preaching derives from and leads to an encounter with Christ, the Word of God made Flesh, who comes to us through the Scriptures.
The objective of the book is to help preachers to think about preaching in a new, dynamic way. Its aim is to provide a fresh and helpful vision of preaching geared to deepening a preacher's appreciation of what preaching is, and the great spiritual impact that good preaching can have on its audience, so as to increase his desire and ability to preach well.

Why Preach: Encountering Christ in God's Word
This book asked all the right questions and gave very unsatisfactory answers. That strength in itself, however, makes it a worthwhile read in an age where preaching is a custom "More honor'd in the breach than the observance."
Cameron encourages his reader, when preparing his homilies, to ask 'How is Christ happening to me now?', 'In what way is Christ breaking in on my life at this moment?' It is a method very much rooted in the thought of Fr. Luigi Giussani, which I appreciate, yet nonetheless this is one of those books where I found myself yelling at the pages in disagreement. His approach, to my mind, did not take sufficiently into account the rich Catholic tradition of scriptural exegesis, viz. the "four senses" of Scripture still spoken of in the Catechism, and thus I imagine the end result of Cameron's suggestions would be homilies that, while certainly more engaging and meaningful than most, would still fall far short of the great sermons of the Fathers and saints.
