Description: One of our best known biblical interpreters offers
essays and sermons meant to assist preachers in their
interpretation and explication of biblical texts. Often neglected
in preaching, the Old Testament is a particular focus of attention,
but only in the context of the wholeness of Scripture. Questions
addressed in this volume include the following: How does one
approach and preach the Old Testament at Easter? What are the
contemporary issues or dimensions in preaching the Ten
Commandments? And how does the preacher hold the Old Testament and
the New Testament in proclaiming God's word to the church? In this
collection, attention is given to preaching about the ministry and
on particular occasions, such as funerals, baccalaureates,
ordination, and in Advent and Christmas as well as before Holy
Communion. Endorsements: ""I have long admired the way in which
Patrick Miller combines insightful biblical scholarship with love
for the church and its ministry. The two are beautifully wed in
this book where Miller vividly reminds us of all we have to gain by
reincorporating regular preaching from the Old Testament into our
ministries, and in which he models how to do so with integrity,
authenticity, and (always) theological depth."" --Nora Tubbs
Tisdale, Professor of Homiletics, Yale Divinity School ""Patrick
Miller's passion for the Bible and church is on full exhibit here,
together with his unrivaled erudition and his great theological
sensibility. In this book he faces the hard and complex issues of
biblical interpretation and preaching. Readers will be impacted and
transformed by the force of his argument and advocacy. There is
good reason he is reckoned to be the premier interpreter of our
generation. His own sermons included here attest to the wise
practicality of what he teaches."" --Walter Brueggemann, Professor
Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary ""Patrick
Miller began his career as a preacher and during his academic years
he has been regularly in the pulpit. . . . In his practice as a
teacher he never lost sight of the purpose of the interpretive
discipline--discerning the Word. Now he has given us this rich
harvest composed of instruction about and illustrations of the way
through the text to the sermon. It will benefit and inspire
everyone--students, teachers, and preachers alike."" --James Luther
Mays, Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and the Old Testament, Union
Presbyterian Seminary About the Contributor(s): Patrick D. Miller
