Expository preaching

<p>Expository preaching, also known as expositional preaching, is a form of <a href="/facts/Preaching/AT5m7TaU">preaching</a> that details the meaning of a particular text or passage of <a href="/facts/Scripture/H2HjQEYv">Scripture</a>. It explains what the Bible means by what it says. <a href="/facts/Exegesis/aN3v40ap">Exegesis</a> is technical and grammatical exposition, a careful drawing out of the exact meaning of a passage in its original context. While the term exposition could be used in connection with any verbal informative teaching on any subject, the term is also used in relation to Bible preaching and teaching. The practice originated from the Jewish tradition of the <a href="/facts/Rabbi/vuBf5LYj">rabbi</a> giving a "<a href="/facts/Dvar_Torah/TaDflo1w">Dvar Torah</a>", explaining a passage from the <a href="/facts/Torah/BdJr9IFo">Torah</a>, during the <a href="/facts/Tefilah/toeaSvSu">prayer services</a>. Expository preaching differs from topical preaching in that the former concentrates on a specific text and discusses topics covered therein; whereas, the latter concentrates on a specific topic and references texts covering the topic.
