Preaching Old Testament Narratives

There's no question that the Old Testament is foundational for the New Testament church. But foundational or not, it can be difficult for preachers to pin down useful resources for narrative texts within the Old Testament, much less to skillfully preach those passages to their congregations. Walton shows how to select a narrative text that is a complete unit of thought, how to determine the theological message of the text, and then how to craft a meaningful take-home truth. He doesn't stop with discovering the core message-- the majority of the book focuses on delivering the massage drawn from narrative texts. This valuable resource will help preachers put all the pieces together, have confidence in what they're imparting, and maximize their preaching potential for Old Testament narratives. Walton's approach is not just theoretical. It has been read and tested anonymously by groups of pastors, and their feedback has been incorporated into the book. This valuable resource will help preachers put all the pieces together, have confidence in what they're imparting, and maximize their preaching potential for Old Testament narratives. --
