Narrative Reading, Narrative Preaching: Reuniting New Testament Interpretation and Proclamation [Paperback]

Joel B. Green (Editor), Michael Pasquarello III (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2003

There is often an unfortunate division between the technical work of biblical scholars and the practical work of preachers who construct sermons each week. Using narrative as an organizing theme, Narrative Reading, Narrative Preaching works through the New Testament offering examples of how interpretation can rightly inform proclamation. Pastors and seminarians will find here a uniquely practical work that will help them with both the reading and preaching of Scripture.

More About the Author

Joel B. Green is Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Associate Dean for the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary.

Prior to his appointment at Fuller Seminary in 2007, Dr. Green was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky (1997-2007), where he also held administrative positions first as Dean of the School of Theology and then as Vice President of Academic Affairs / Provost. He has served on the faculties of the American Baptist Seminary of the West and Graduate Theological Union, and New College Berkeley, Berkeley, California, a graduate school of Christian and interdisciplinary studies for the whole people of God.

Characteristic of Professor Green's work has been a keen sense of vocation as a "bridge-builder" -- especially between the academic study of theology and the larger church and world, and between persons and institutions of dissimilar theological commitments.
