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,
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.
