"I have found that nothing brings greater joy than preaching the
gospel of Jesus Christ from the Scriptures of the Old Testament.
This masterful collection of essays will help contemporary
preachers understand, proclaim and apply all the genres of Old
Testament literature with greater depth and clarity."--Philip
Graham Ryken, president, Wheaton College
"There has never been a better time to preach. We have more
resources available to guide our understanding of the text than any
generation of preachers in human history. But sometimes it feels
like we're drowning in information while starving for wisdom. This
volume will help create a generation of genuinely thoughtful
preachers who can teach people to love God with their minds. It can
guide us to preaching that has integrity, power and
authority."--John Ortberg, pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church,
California
"This book offers a thorough discussion of the various tasks facing
the Christian preacher in proclaiming the gospel from the pages of
the Old Testament. Particularly unique among recent treatments of
this sort is the fact that each of the contributors is a noted Old
Testament professor, scholar and proven preacher in his or her own
right. Also, each seeks to encounter the gospel not only within the
New Testament but from within the Old Testament as well. The
contributors are thus much more inclined to look for their answers
to Old Testament problems and hermeneutical guidelines from within
the Old Testament itself. Also helpful is the example sermon
included with each chapter."--John H. Sailhamer, author of The
Meaning of the Pentateuch
"We are fortunate to be studying and preaching on the Old Testament
at a time when critical study has produced many approaches to the
Old Testament that will aid the preacher. That would have been
inconceivable a few decades ago. This volume is a most useful guide
to the way those approaches resource preaching on different kinds
of texts in the Old Testament."--John Goldingay, David Allan
Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Given the diversity of the contributors, preachers will find this
to be a valuable resource as they seek to be faithful expositors of
Old Testament texts."--Michael Duduit, Preaching, May/June 2011
"I wholeheartedly recommend this fine book."--Scott A. Wenig, The
Journal of the evangelical Homiletics Society., March 2011
"This is a very useful book that no Christian preacher should be
without."--R. Ryan, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament,
35.5 (2011)
