From Story Interpretation to Sermon Crafting

Preaching & Worship

“This book demonstrates with the help of numerous examples how the authors of narrative texts in the Hebrew Bible used repetition to demarcate main sections in narrative units, thus helping the reader to isolate its theological focus. It then goes on to demonstrate how a literary sensitive reading of the text can help the pastor to craft a sermon which is rooted in the text, but also intellectually engaging and relevant for a modern context. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!”
