Overview

Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher? How did he understand his commission from the risen Lord Jesus to preach the gospel, and how did he put it into practice? Further, what lessons can contemporary preachers learn from Paul about the theology and practice of preaching to help them be more faithful messengers of God’s Word?

As a leading Pauline scholar and practicing pastor, Frank Matera has considered these questions, and he offers this short, accessible book to pastors and students as wise and helpful guidance. Matera explores a Pauline theology of preaching, focusing on three main questions: Why did Paul preach? What did he preach? And how did he preach? He also explores Paul’s preaching as the ministry of the new covenant. Then he identifies and explores seven themes of Paul’s preaching, which in turn offer key practical insights for preaching in a Pauline way. Readers are encouraged to “preach from the cross,” making the crucified Christ their focus and their model, demonstrating what they preach by their own cruciform lives.
