Publisher's Description
The Gospel of John exhibits a peculiar Christian language and thought that need to be understood and employed in the preaching ministry. The preacher's task involves penetrating the thick and often confusing language of the Gospel and comprehending its frequently paradoxical theology. The preacher can find new and powerful resources for preaching in Johannine language and thought, as well as its use of narrative and discourse. These discoveries facilitate preaching John in ways that are consistent with recent trends in homiletic theory. The method of this book is to combine the practical (how to preach John) with proposals for understanding the Gospel. The author offers a variety of sermon ideas and designs throughout each chapter based on numerous passages selected from the Revised Common Lectionary.

“From long years in both the classroom and the pulpit, Robert Kysar has developed a unique gift for bridging the gap between the two. He is able to see and show the reader a whole host of surprising homiletical implications that emerge from recent Johannine scholarship. Best of all, with sermon excerpts from the preaching of his wife and himself, he richly demonstrates how to lead a congregation into the strange world of John's Gospel.”
