Preaching the Old Testament: A Lectionary Commentary - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

<p>In this third <br>and concluding volume <br>of their lectionary commentary <br>collection (<i>Preaching the Gospels <br>without Blaming the Jews</i> and <br><i>Preaching the Letters without <br>Dismissing the Law</i>), Ronald Allen <br>and Clark Williamson encourage the <br>church and its preachers to rediscover <br>the Old Testament as a vibrant <br>wellspring of Christian faith and life. <br>Preachers often neglect the Old <br>Testament, misrepresent it, or regard <br>its theological content as superseded <br>by <br>Jesus and the New Testament, Allen <br>and <br>Williamson claim. The authors help <br>preachers avoid these traps by <br>explaining how a text was understood <br>before the Common Era without any <br>reference to Jesus or Christian <br>doctrine, mentioning representative <br>New <br>Testament passages or themes that <br>are <br>informed by the older material, and <br>commenting briefly on the relationship <br>between the lections in those cases <br>when <br>readings from the Old Testament are <br>paired with readings from the New <br>Testament.</p>
