Preaching Matthew's Gospel (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Jensen's research and insights provide a stimulating resource on Matthew's Gospel. Jensen provides "Homiletical Directions" at the end of each chapter that will help the preacher find a focus and locate themes for preaching the text.

Jensen points to the ways in which the biblical writers lock their stories together with other stories in order to give fuller meaning to their narratives. He covers material that is not included in the assigned lectionary texts and discusses the inter-relatedness of Matthew's stories. These "narrative analogies" imply that preaching on Matthew's Gospel may at times be a retelling of two or more Matthean stories.

This is the third installment in Jensen's series, which also includes Preaching Mark's Gospel and Preaching Luke's Gospel.
