9780825443633: Interpreting the Prophetic Books: An Exegetical Handbook

Synopsis

Preaching from a prophetic text can be daunting because it can be difficult to place these prophecies in their historical setting; because the prophets use different literary genres; and because they are often written using metaphorical poetry which is hard to understand. This handbook offers an organised method of approaching a prophecy and preparing a persuasive biblically based sermon that will draw modern application from the theological principle embedded in the prophetic text.
