Bible scholars Andreas Köstenberger and Richard Patterson present the “hermeneutical triad” method—an interpretive approach to the Bible that gives due consideration to the historical setting, literary context, and theological message of a given passage. Working through the major genres of Scripture and showing how their method applies to each one, Köstenberger and Patterson provide interpretive examples to guide the student in proper exegesis.

Written in a conversational style with numerous examples to illustrate concepts, Invitation to Biblical Preaching takes the reader step-by-step through the entire process of preparing a biblical message—from studying a passage with skill and integrity to delivering a message with persuasion, accuracy, passion, and relevance. An experienced pastor and homiletics professor, Donald Sunukjian provides budding pastors with wise counsel that will stay with them throughout their ministries.

In this practical and challenging work, Timothy Tennent lays a theological foundation for missions by underscoring the importance of the mission of God, the new creation, and a sweeping vision for the global church. He demonstrates how missions is not only central to the Christian faith—it is an essential component of an abundant and impassioned life.
