Jonathan Griffiths is lead pastor of the Metropolitan Bible Church, Ottawa, Canada. Previously he served on the staff of the Proclamation Trust in London, England, where he taught on the Cornhill Training Course. He is editor of The Perfect Saviour: Key Themes in Hebrews.
"This volume addresses the need for a biblical theology of
preaching by focusing on some foundational matters before closely
studying a handful of passages in Paul and in Hebrews. Considering
how much preaching is done week by week around the world, it is
good to have a study that requires us to reflect on what we are
doing."
*D. A. Carson*
"Preaching in the New Testament presents a compelling biblical case
for what preaching is and does. The book will not necessarily help
readers become better preachers, but it will make them more aware
as preachers—which, in the end, may make them more effective."
*Peter Krol, Bible Study Magazine, November/December 2017*
"As a pastor myself, I found this book extremely encouraging, and
came away not only with a clearer grasp of what God intends to
accomplish through my preaching, but with a renewed goal of doing
what I can to see that my preaching fulfills those divine
purposes."
*Gary L. Shultz Jr., The Journal of the Evangelical Homiletics
Society, March 2018*
"What a great encouragement for maintaining the centrality of
preaching in our worship! Tasting heaven as God speaks to us
through his word; what a great thought! Preaching in the New
Testament: An Exegetical and Biblical-Theological Study by Jonathan
I. Griffiths is a great scholarly resource and encouragement to
pastors in their regular work of exegesis and preaching ministry.
Griffiths’ wok comes with the highest recommendations."
*Jacques Roets, Mid-America Journal of Theology*
"Every volume in this series has been significant and worthy, and
this volume follows in that same line. Preachers have found
tremendous encouragement, and challenging observations, from
Griffiths' unfolding of preaching throughout the New Testament.
Preachers will also be encouraged by understanding the gravity and
importance of preaching as Griffiths displays the preaching
ministry of the Church as found in the New Testament."
*R. Albert Mohler, Preaching Magazine, Spring 2018*
"I recommend this book. It does what it sets out to do. It
convincingly shows that preaching is not simply something we do
(and to which we listen) because it works or because it has been
done for many centuries, but instead because we are commanded to
preach the word (2 Tim 4:2, the motto of my alma mater) and to
'desire the pure milk of the word' (1 Pet 2:3)."
*Robert N. Wilkin, Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society, Spring
2017*
"Readers will find here a wealth of information and insight related
to the biblical basis for preaching which should fuel a life-long
commitment to handle God's truth rightly and to proclaim it to
others today. For at least these important reasons, Preaching in
the New Testament should be welcomed with enthusiasm as a vital
resource for all those who are called to serve in the specific word
ministry knwon in Scripture as 'preaching.'"
*Pete Charpentier, Midwestern Journal of Theology, Spring 2018*
