Preaching Christ from Genesis: Foundations for Expository Sermons

Sidney Greidanus's previous two preaching books — The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text and Preaching 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.
