Description
Inviting serious theological engagement with texts from all parts of the Christian Bible, Preaching the Luminous Word is a selection of fifty-one sermons and five related essays from noted preacher and biblical scholar Ellen F. Davis.
A brief preface to every sermon delineates its liturgical context and theological themes in addition to distinctive elements of structure and style. Arranged in canonical order, the sermons treat quite a lot of texts: Torah, Prophets, Writings, Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation. They’re complemented by essays on more than a few aspects of biblical interpretation for preaching.
Immediately accessible, theologically informed, and rhetorically wealthy, this volume will have interaction preachers, teachers, seminarians, church leaders, and serious lay readers.
