Preaching Biblical Theology

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 10:20:02 GMT

Today’s Classic Materials is drawn from Graeme Goldsworthy’s “Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture”. It concerns the great need for preachers to understand and convey biblical theology. After reading the quote, don’t miss the biblical theology links at the bottom of the post.

“My own impression of the modern literature is that it is predominantly weighted towards matters of effective communication and methods of sermon preparation. I find that questions regarding the nature of Scripture, which provide us with the principles of interpretation and application, are not so prominent.

It is here that biblical theology comes into its own. Much of the literature on preaching either ignores biblical theology completely or makes only passing reference to it. Assumptions are made about the application of the results of careful exegesis, but the principles for making the connection between the ancient text and the contemporary hearers are not always so clearly dealt with.

In asserting that biblical theology is the way forward, I am not thereby seeking to ride some hobbyhorse or to provide some brilliant revelation that no one else ever thought of. I am simply saying that the way the Bible presents its message, a message that reaches its climax in the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth, provides us with the principles we need.

Biblical theology is nothing more nor less than allowing the Bible to speak as a whole: as the one word of the one God about the one way of salvation.”
