Inhaltsangabe

Biblical exegesis doesn’t stop with the words alone. Faithful preachers exegete the emotion of the text as well.

It’s easy to let our own personalities dictate the emotional dimension of our sermons, but the best preachers mirror the Bible’s emotive intent in their sermons. In Passion in the Pulpit, Jerry Vines and Adam Dooley will teach you how to exegete not just the verbal content of Scripture, but its emotional appeal as well. They show you the role the Bible’s emotional intent should play in each stage of sermon prep, and:

  • Offer exegetical steps to discern the biblical pathos
  • Teach you how to avoid manipulation while making your sermons emotional
  • Help you determine the appropriate limitations of emotional appeal
  • Give you verbal, vocal, and visual techniques to help convey the biblical emotional intent in your sermons

When we elevate the Bible’s emotional intent above our own, we preach truth rather than personality.

Emotions are the Missing Exegetical Link

When we preach, the question is not if people will feel, but what they will feel. If we preach the emotions that are at the heart of the passage, then our congregations will feel what God intended. If we preach the emotions of our personality’s choosing—or with no emotions at all—we misrepresent the text.

Discover the importance of biblical pathos and how to faithfully proclaim it through your preaching. In Passion in the Pulpit you’ll also learn how to:

  • recognize and appreciate the gift of Scripture’s emotional coloring
  • discern the biblical pathos using reliable exegetical steps
  • make your sermons faithfully emotive while avoiding manipulation
  • determine the appropriate limitations of emotional appeal
  • use verbal, vocal, and visual techniques to convey the biblical emotional intent of the passage

And more

Preaching what God says without also respecting how He said it is not an option. No matter the cost, we must preach with the passion God desires.
