In contrast with the widely popular interest in narrative styles, James Thompson shows that Paul’s letters offer a different model for preaching today. He demonstrates how the manner of preaching used in the pre-Christian culture of Paul is valid and effective in our contemporary post-Christian culture. Unlike most books on preaching, this volume focuses not on technique, but on the goal of preaching–a needed missing component in contemporary holimetic discussion.
James W. Thompson is Professor of New Testament and the Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Theology at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas. He is also an editor for Restoration Quarterly.
