PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Viewed as antiquated and remote, the Old Testament is frequently neglected in the preaching and teaching ministry of the church. But contrary to the prevailing attitude, might the Old Testament contain a relevant and meaningful application for today? Renowned author and scholar Walter Kaiser shows why the Old Testament deserves equal attention to the New Testament and offers a helpful guide on how preachers and teachers can give it the full attention it deserves.

Growing out of his teaching material from the last decade, Preaching and Teaching from the Old Testament demonstrates Kaiser's celebrated straightforward exposition. Offering an apologist for the Christian use of the Old Testament, the opening chapters deal with the value, problem, and task of preaching from it. Following a discussion of the role of expository preaching, Kaiser provides a practical focus by examining preaching and teaching from texts of various genres. A final chapter explores the relevance of the Old Testament in speaking to a contemporary audience.

Bible teachers, pastors, seminary students, and professors will appreciate Kaiser's practical focus and relevant applications. Additional help includes a glossary and suggested outlines and worksheets for expository preaching.
