organ's personal history contributed to the development of his method of preaching. His victory over doubt and rationalism confirmed his early religious training and thrust him into the study of the Bible; his teaching at the Jewish school interested him in the background culture through which the Bible came; and his rejection From the Methodist ministry precluded his following conventional channels or theological study and preparation (Wagner, p. 25-26). This rejection prompted Morgan to apply himself diligently to intense, first hand Bible study to make up for his lack or formal training. As a result he was propelled to a number successful pastorates (including two lengthy ministries at Westminster), a world famous itinerate work, and a voluminous writing ministry. His commitment to Bible study, his knack for teaching, his penchant for organization, and his unquenchable thirst for work help us to understand some of the reasons why thousands of people eagerly received the expositions which flowed from his pulpit and pen. Now we turn from placing Morgan's preaching in the context of his personal life and ministries to placing it in the general philosophical and theological context or his times.
