Description
Emphasizing Christ's presence in all of Scripture is key to effective preaching, according to veteran pastor and professor Edmund Clowney. He argues that every text, whether from the Old or New Testaments, should be understood in relation to its ultimate focus: the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Clowney believes that the Hebrew Scriptures were written to reveal God's one great plan for human history and redemption, which centers on his incarnate Son. He provides numerous examples of his own sermons that illustrate how to craft sermons that present Christ as the primary consideration of Scripture, along with practical instructions on preparing such a sermon.
By emphasizing Christ's presence in both Old and New Testaments, Clowney offers guidance on how pastors can seek out Christ's presence through prayer and Bible study, and ensure that their sermons apply the biblical text to everyday life.
