The chapters cover the main texts and genres of the New Testament, and offer particular insightsinto 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.

REVIEWS

"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."Haddon Robinson, Harold John Ockenga Professor of Preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"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."Mark Labberton, Ogilvie Associate Professor of Preaching and director, Ogilvie Institute of Preaching, Fuller Theological Seminary
"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."Michael P. Knowles, George Franklin Hurlburt Professor of Preaching, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario
