Review Quotes
"Preaching the New Testament is a must-have resource for students who are just beginning their homiletic journey and for pastors who need a fresh look at the New Testament. You will not walk away from this book wondering how or if you will use the information in it. These scholarly and practical insights can be applied in the pulpit next Sunday."

--Patricia Batten, Africanus Journal, November 2014"Preaching the New Testament offers help to any reader interested in integration of biblical scholarship and preaching. . . . For the reader who wants greater exegetical and academic substance than many works on homiletics provide, and sharper focus on proclamation than is typical of most biblical scholarship, this is a good place--and in many instances an excellent place--to begin."
--Clarence DeWitt "Jimmy" Agan III, Presbyterion, Fall 2016"Preaching the New Testament offers help to any reader interested in integration of biblical scholarship and preaching. . . .

"[T]his is an excellent addition to my library and to the field. If you're preaching the New Testament, locate the pertinent section in this book and reap the benefits of scholars who have written for those of us at the 'coalface of ministry.'"

--Randal Emery Pelton, Journal of the Evangelical Homiletics Society, September 2013"Every Christian preacher must preach from the New Testament. The New Testament is made up of different genres of literature, and each section has its own power and problems. Here are the musings of nineteen different scholars who present the challenges and the benefits of these up-to-date ancient writings that should persuade a pastor to study the New Testament again for the first time."
"This is a first-rate set of essays from an international slate of contributors--scholars and students of the New Testament who are also preachers themselves. In conversation with the best of evangelical scholarship, they boldly address the challenges facing proclamation of the New Testament in a postmodern context. At once intellectually profound and immediately practical, these studies offer a masterful combination of careful exegesis, incisive theological reflection and balanced homiletical application for the life of the church today."
"You will find in this collection of essays a treasure trove of convictions and insights about preaching the New Testament that can nourish, challenge and enrich any pastor's sermons. I read it eagerly and thankfully, in agreement and disagreement, but with gratitude throughout."
