Book Synopsis

The New Testament writers proclaimed their message passionately and persuasively. This volume explores how we can preach faithfully from those texts. The chapters cover the main texts and genres of the New Testament, and offer particular insights into the infancy narratives, parables, miracles, the Sermon on the Mount, ethics, future hope and judgment, archaeology and history, hermeneutics and the "New Homiletic."Building on sound principles of interpretation, communication and application, this book supports the efforts of preachers and Bible teachers to proclaim the good news to listeners today.Contributors include: Charles Anderson, D. A. Carson, the late R. T. France, Justin Hardin, Mariam Kamell, I. Howard Marshall, Jason Maston, John Nolland, Peter Oakes, William Olhausen, Klyne Snodgrass, Helge Stadelmann, Christoph Stenschke, Stephen Travis, Paul Weston and Stephen Wright.

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."

"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."

"[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.'"
