If your customers are looking for accessible Biblical study guides,
either for personal or group use, then look no further. The
"Conversations with Scripture" series either looks at individual
Biblical books, or as in the case of this latest volume, Biblical
topics. The series isn't so highbrow that only those versed in
Greek can understand it, but equally doesn't talk down the way some
commentaries can. The author is an expert in the field and knows
how best to study the Parables, which are filled with ambiguity and
much room for interpretation. He has organised each chapter by
Parable type - such as seeking and growth and left room for
activity ideas, such as role-playing, parable writing or music.
This book gives the historical and cultural background and will
help readers to explore the beauty, richness and joy that the
Parables contain. Each book in the series has strong branding and
is designed to stand out on the shelf.
Using the findings of historical Jesus studies, William Brosend
asks, what is the rhetoric that characterized the preaching of
Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels, and how may today's preaching
benefit from it? This book for preachers and students of preaching
helps the reader see four distinct aspects of the rhetoric of
Jesus: dialogical (preaching in response to challenges and
questions); proclamatory (making bold and authoritative
statements); occasionally self-referential (though less so than in
the Fourth Gospel); and persistently figurative (illustrating his
message through metaphor). Brosend spends one chapter on each of
these methods, closing each chapter with a sermon that models that
approach and his analysis of it. Sample sermons are by well-known
preachers including Fred Craddock, Michael Curry, Tom Long, and
Barbara Brown Taylor. Brosend concludes with the implications for
modern preaching and a sermon of his own.
