Reseña del editor:

Leading Scholar Offers a Theological Approach to Preaching This primer on the ministry of preaching connects reading the Bible theologically with preparing and preaching sermons. Hans Boersma explains that exegesis involves looking beyond the historical and literal meaning of the text to the hidden sacramental reality of Christ himself, which enables us to reach the deepest meaning of the Scriptures. He provides models for theological sermons along with commentary on exegetical and homiletical method and explains that patristic exegesis is relevant for reading the Bible today. The book includes a foreword by Eugene H. Peterson.

Contraportada:

"This collection of sermons represents Boersma's mature theology. I highly recommend it to all pastors and laity. It is a treasure."
--Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School

"Boersma's performed exegesis in fourteen sermons allows us to think through the challenges of interpretation by way of hands-on immersion. This book will be warmly received by theology students and pastors who want to transcend the inherent limitations of academic biblical studies."
--R. R. Reno, First Things

"This is a remarkable recovery of pre-modern preaching for a truncated, post-modern world. With all the subtle skills of a patristic scholar, Boersma reunites us to 'the communion of the saints' by the fourfold reading of Scripture. This is not 'a collection of sermons' but a challenge to inspire deeper historical perspectives in pastoral preaching in an ahistorical culture."
--James M. Houston, Regent College, Vancouver

"Finally, contemporary preaching that honors the church's Scriptures in their Christ-filled breadth and power! Boersma's immersion in patristic faith and Bible reading, joined with his own living encounter with Christ in the Scriptures, has produced sermons that demonstrate the utter relevance of the church fathers' interpretation of the Scriptures. Neither antiquarian nor trendy, they direct and embody the listener's ascent through the sacramental text of Scripture to the person of the heavenly Christ. It is a beautiful and necessary journey for Christian disciples, preachers, and hermeneutical specialists to take."
--Ephraim Radner, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

"Boersma bridges from the church fathers to modern churchgoers with a sure hand and a well-lit vision. The fathers have something to teach us about sermons as means of grace, and Boersma delivers their goods with great homiletical skill and wisdom."
--Cornelius Plantinga Jr., Calvin Theological Seminary; author of Reading for Preaching

"In this book of powerfully engaging sermons, Boersma demonstrates how we can preach Jesus from any and every text of the Bible. After reading these pages, you, like me, will know the joy of finding and proclaiming 'the more' that comes from the early church's sacramental understanding of all reality; that Christ is everywhere presented, and most especially in the text we read and preach on the Lord's Day."
--Darrell Johnson, Regent College; Centre for Preaching, Carey Theological College
