This is an excellent book that is simply a must-have and must-regularly-read for anyone regularly teaching the Bible. Goldsworthy builds on his earlier works to apply biblical theology to the task of preaching and this makes it a goldmine of both theory and praxis of what the biblical theology pulpit should actually sound like. Part 1 examines the Bible, biblical theology and preaching, and shows how they relate in the preparation of Christ-centred sermons. Part 2 applies the biblical-theological method to the various types of literature in the Bible and draws out their contributions to expository preaching focused on the person and work of Christ.
