Foundations for Expository Sermons

ALL SCRIPTURE TESTIFIES OF CHRIST

Beginning with a general introduction on how to interpret and preach from the biblical psalms – and why they should do so – Greidanus proceeds to discuss the psalms and provide the necessary elements for preaching from the Psalms. In addition to outlining the basic homiletical-theological approaches appropriate for each selected psalm, these chapters also offer verse-by-verse exposition, bridges to Christ in the New Testament, and ideas for placing the psalmist's words in contemporary context.

Key features:

• Teaches how to prepare expository messages.
• Addresses fundamental questions such as date, authorship, and audience.
• Contains building blocks for crafting expository sermons and lessons.
• Promotes a combination of literary-historical interpretation of the Psalms, with canonical, redemptive-historical, and Christ-centered interpretation.

No one has been more influential in this generation of preachers, and in my personal life, than Sidney Greidanus on the necessity for the purposes of Christ to permeate all biblical exposition. I welcome this latest contribution to his extensive work that has so blessed the church of Christ.

“I have long admired Sidney Greidanus's writings on Old Testament preaching. The Old Testament is often neglected in the pulpit because many think it is irrelevant to Christians. In this book Greidanus reveals the richness of the Psalms and helps us discover their theological and Christological significance.”
