Preaching the Incarnation, a follow-up to the authors’ Preaching the Atonement, offers a theological discussion of ten important Bible passages connected with the doctrine of incarnation, bringing historical and literary questions about the text into dialogue with Christian tradition, drawing out the implications of the passage for preaching. In each chapter a sermon is presented, followed by a commentary that sets the sermon in context and highlights the rhetorical strategy of the preacher. Well-known preachers William Willimon, Thomas Long, Rowan Williams, and Anna Carter Florence each contribute sermons to the book, as do the authors.
Stephen I. Wright is Director of Research and Tutor in Biblical Studies and Practical Theology at Spurgeon’s College in London. The author of several books on New Testament and preaching, he is also coauthor of Preaching the Atonement and Preaching the Incarnation, published by Westminster John Knox Press.
