A growing bibliography, with honest limits
This collection begins with Dr. Wooten’s supplied dissertation bibliography, supplemented by Southern Seminary’s publication list and repository records. It brings together the principal books identified in that review and selected shorter works; it is not a claim to list every article, tract, translation, or edition Broadus produced.
The 1926 Dargan/Gardner and 1979 Stanfield revisions in the supplied bibliography are additional editions of the preaching manual. No unrestricted PDF was verified for those editions. Broadus’s Day Book is manuscript material, not a published book; consult the archives finding aid. Books about Broadus belong in the research bibliography.
Starting points: Dr. Wooten’s research bibliography; Southern Baptist Historical Library & Archives; Southern Seminary’s Broadus finding aid; University of Pennsylvania’s Online Books Page. Individual scan links lead to the repository records used for dates and PDF listings.
Repository records checked October 30, 2026. Read nineteenth-century works with attention to their historical setting and consult the scan’s title page when citing.
