Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary Hermeneutical Method

"The book is careful and thorough and evinces great learning. It is copiously, even exhaustively footnoted, especially to secondary literature…. An important book."

"As with his previous, The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text, Greidanus is at his best when giving specific exegetical and homiletical suggestions. In addition, his history of the varied ways preachers have proclaimed Christ from the Old Testament is well-researched and is a unique contribution to the field. The book is an important part of an age-old debate."

"This is a long, complicated, but thorough book. It has wonderful insights and is written in a splendid way. This would be the kind of book most pastors ought to read. It gives a clear theological outline of a problem that plagues the modern church — failure to give credence to the Scripture from which Jesus himself preached."

"Sidney Greidanus makes a major contribution to modern preaching with this work.… A great resource tool for sermon preparation.… Greidanus achieves a scholarly work, but one that is filled with great insight and integrity."

"This is a careful, clear, helpful volume, which can be useful to any preacher who wishes to preach "the whole counsel of God," joining Old and New Testaments…. A good book."

"Greidanus has doen it again! In Preaching Christ from the Old Testament he has given us a thorough and satisfying treatment of this critical theme. We are all in his debt. This book is much needed -- comprehensive and convincing."

"The Old Testament was the Bible of the early church. Yet many pastors in the modern church find the Old Testament difficult to preach. Greidanus offers thoughtful readers some practical and helpful counsel on preaching Christian sermons from the Old Testament. This is a book well worth reading and applying to our teaching of the Word of God."
