Holy Root, Holy Branches: Christian Preaching from the Old Testament
by Ronald James Allen, John C. Holbert
Category: Religion

Ronald J. Allen and John C. Holbert provide a new model for approaching Old Testament texts and a step-by-step model for applying it. They address what seems to be an insurmountable problem for preaching ministers: how the confession that Jesus is Lord affects our reaching and preaching from the Old Testament. Their work attempts to explore how the Hebrew Bible is - and is not - instructive for the Christian church. This book will help pastors and students clarify how the texts of the Hebrew Bible can be used appropriately in the proclamation of the gospel.
