Sidney Greidanus's previous two preaching books - The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text and Preaching Christ from the Old Testament - have received wide acclaim. Preaching Christ from Genesis offers more of Greidanus's solid, practical homiletical fare.
Packed with unique features, Preaching Christ from Genesis • uses the latest scholarly research to analyze twenty-three Genesis narratives • presents the rhetorical structures and other literary features of each narrative • discloses the message for Israel (theme) as well as the author's likely purpose (goal) • explores various ways of preaching Christ from each narrative • offers sermon exposition and commentary in oral style • suggests relevant sermon forms, introductions, and applications
Including helpful appendixes - "Ten Steps from Text to Sermon," "An Expository Sermon Model," and three of the author's own Genesis sermons - this volume will be an invaluable resource for preachers and Bible teachers.
