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.
