The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text provides a holistic approach to the interpretation and preaching of biblical texts. After discussing the form of biblical preaching and examining various historical methodologies for understanding the biblical text, Sidney Greidanus applies general hermeneutical and homiletical principles to four specific scriptural genres: Hebrew narratives, prophetic literature, gospel, and epistle. Thorough and well researched, this volume is a valuable resource both for pastors seeking guidelines for responsible expository preaching and for students wanting to bridge the gap between biblical studies and homiletics.

Homiletic

"A moveable feast. . . . My advice to every preacher or student aspiring to preach is: Get this book. Study it. Ponder it. Argue with it. It will challenge you, correct you, help you, inform you, and thrill you. It will enable us all to carry out our responsibility to the ancient text and our modern hearers as those who 'preach the Word"
