What makes biblical preaching truly biblical? Leander Keck calls it an art as well as a skill—an art which must be recovered in this day of renewal in the churches.
In this forthright, practical book, he examines the whys and wherefores of biblical preaching and its inseparable connection with the pulpit. A progress report of a successful approach which has been in the making for many years, the book offers a perspective within which guidelines for preaching can have meaning. Dr. Keck provides honest, direct answers to many unanswered questions about the relationship to the pulpit of historical studies and biblical criticism, and illustrates various ways to deal with fundamental matters of interpretation. He also includes three of his own sermons as examples for developing more effective sermons using the Bible as a starting point.
It's time for preachers to make their sermons the sources of new life which God requires and which church members expect. The Bible in the Pulpit will help them do just that.
