Preaching Christ from Genesis

Foundations for Expository Sermons.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 authorÉs 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 applicationsIncluding 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.'In his earliest work more than three decades ago, Sidney
Greidanus helped revolutionize evangelical homiletics by demonstrating how
Genesis 3:15 discloses the theme for all preaching in the Bible's earliest
pages. [...] Now in a culminating work of his career, Greidanus shows not only
how Genesis 3:15 sets the theme of Scripture but also how the entire book of
Genesis structures God's agenda and our understanding of Christ's redeeming
work. This is a master stroke from one of the seminal thinkers and writers in
homiletics.' - Bryan Chapell'Greidanus has been one of the most
gifted advocates of 'redemptive historical' preaching, and in this book he
provides yet another important resource for bringing that perspective to bear
on the life and mission of the church. In a time when there is much confusion
about what it means to preach in fidelity to the Scriptures, we very much need
the lessons that he offers us here.' - Richard J. MouwRecommended € 37,9
