Oliver O'Donovan has been preaching and teaching for over three decades, committed to the perpetual voyage that is the service of the Word of God. In The Word in Small Boats O'Donovan offers thirty-two select sermons that he has preached over the course of some twenty years.
"The word [of God] travels in small boats, the thought and speech of human beings, living the life of faith like any other believer but set aside for this ministry. Few vessels are less capacious than the mind of a single person, and so the word requisitions many of them, rather than relying on one or two big preachers."
