Proclaiming the Word

"This book impresses on the reader an understanding and practice of the skills and tools needed for competent, faithful biblical exposition, whether preaching from the pulpit, teaching Sunday School, or leading small groups. Beginning with the basic principles, the book explores why preaching matters and why it needs to be expository. It then moves to a detailed exploration of practical skills, identifying what they are, why they matter, and how they can be developed. Finally, the book considers how the Bible comes together to form the whole counsel of God, with Christ as the center and key to all the Scriptures. It concludes with the recognition that this is a lifelong journey, encourages readers to be always improving in "rightly handling the word of truth," and provides a strategy for pressing on in the work"--.
