They are uncertain how to preach the highly emotive poems in Psalms, the one-liners in Proverbs, the tedious conversations in Job, the esoteric observations about life in Ecclesiastes, and the confusing love poems in the Song of Songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere leading pastor theologian Steven Mathewson instructs and inspires preachers to preach some of the most challenging--and some of the richest--material in the Old Testament. This companion to his successful \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Preaching Old Testament Narrative\u003c\/i\u003e guides readers through preaching the oft-neglected Old Testament poetic books. Mathewson introduces foundational issues and offers basic methodology and preaching strategies that are faithful to the text and sensitive to its listeners. Highlighting Mathewson's skill at bringing the riches of the Old Testament to bear on the life of the church, this book makes scholarship on the poetic books accessible for pastors and pastors-in-training. It also includes sample sermons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540967626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256","brand":"Steven D.
