Publisher's Description
Long argues that the literary form and dynamics of biblical texts can and should make a difference in the kinds of sermons created from those texts, not only because of what the texts say but because of how they say it. He presents a methodology for taking the literary characteristics of biblical texts into account in the text-to-sermon process and then applies that methodology in separate chapters on preaching on psalms, proverbs, narratives, parables, and epistles.

“A 'must read' book for preachers! Tom Long's style is clear, witty and elegant, his content altogether helpful. Here is a book that anyone who cares about preaching will welcomes.”
“This is a well-written book that will aid any preacher, as he or she prepares a sermon, to uncover the riches of the Bible.”
