I believe that the definition of expository preaching has been on the minds of Christians worldwide recently. I think part of this is due to the revival of Reformed theology especially among younger Christians; this coupled with the reaction to the shallow theology of the seeker sensitive movement has cultivated a demand for the clear preaching of God's Word; the proclamation of the Gospel.
That being said, I humbly offer my simple and concise definition of Expository Preaching:
The act of exposing the Law and the Gospel through the history, prophecy, type, symbol, indicatives and imperatives of a particular passage of scripture.
Others have said that expository preaching is the act of telling people what the passage means, and I agree with this while I offer the above definition because the passage is always about God's relationship to men through the Law and the Gospel as they are presented in redemptive history .
