Preaching Christ from Genesis

Sidney Greidanus's previous two preaching books -- The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text andPreaching Christ from the Old Testament -- have received wide acclaim. Preaching Christ from Genesis offers more of Greidanus's solid, practical homiletical fare.

Packed with unique features, Preaching Christ from Genesis
* uses the latest scholarly research to analyze twenty-three Genesis narratives
* presents the rhetorical structures and other literary features of each narrative
* discloses the message for Israel (theme) as well as the author's likely purpose (goal)
* explores various ways of preaching Christ from each narrative
* offers sermon exposition and commentary in oral style
* suggests relevant sermon forms, introductions, and applications

Including helpful appendixes -- "Ten Steps from Text to Sermon," "An Expository Sermon Model," and three of the author's own Genesis sermons -- this volume will be an invaluable resource for preachers and Bible teachers.
