Bibliography
“A Certain Sound by Ryan Denton and Scott Smith is a welcome contribution to the contemporary discussion on open air preaching. From a perspective deeply grounded in the Christian tradition and Reformed and Puritan theology, Denton and Smith defend the ministry of street preaching in a firm but moderate tone. Everyone who practices open air preaching or who is interested in its biblical basis must read this book.”
—Sam Waldron, academic dean and professor of systematic theology at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary, and a pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Owensboro, Kentucky
