From the Back Cover
"While encouraging us and teaching us to consider them 'stories-of-the-whole,' David Ourisman offers a fresh reading of the synoptic gospels. His literary insights challenge us to read more carefully, his homiletical queries ask for proclamations with theological depth, and his sermons provide moments of devotion. Those who preach the synoptics frequently will find in Ourisman an interesting and stimulating study partner." Larry Paul Jones, Lexington Theological Seminary
"Ourisman is an excellent tour guide to direct our trip from gospel to sermon because he is so well acquainted with all of the important sites along the way. From careful readings of each of the synoptic gospels, through the forest of sermon preparation, to the destination of the completed sermon, he points out what we need to know to make the journey more easily ourselves." Robert Kysar, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
