¶ … Preaching the New Testament, is gracefully written collection of 17 essays by preachers who are also evangelical New Testament scholars. Edited by David Wenham and Ian Paul, the book does not just merely focus on 'persuasive communication, instead it concentrates on offering insights on how interpret, personalize and communicate the New Testament. In theological speak, it focuses on the hermeneutical and exegetical foundations of homiletics rather than the mere mechanics of homiletics.
The first 11 essays in the book are arranged in a canonical New testament order, with a special focus on the Gospels in (chapter one), infancy narratives (chapter two), Jesus miracles and parables (chapter 3 and 4), the sermon on the mount (chapter 5), Acts (chapter six), Paul's letters (chapter seven), the pastoral epistles (chapter eight), the book of Hebrews (chapter nine), General epistles (chapter ten), the book of revelation (chapter eleven). The rest of the seventeen essays address specific issues in history and archeology (chapter 12), New Testament ethics (chapter 13), hope and judgment (chapter 14) relational hermeneutics (chapter 15), exegesis and the new homiletic (chapter 16) and finally evangelistic preaching as the last chapter.
If one is a Pentecostal he or she would definitely be interested in the chapters that touch on Jesus' Acts and miracles. Pentecostals often ignore the hermeneutical divide between normative and narrative, and between what we do now compared to what Jesus and the Early Church did. So it will be interesting to any Pentecostal to see how other denominations such as the evangelicals negotiate or handle this divide.
Even though one may not agree with what is written in the aforementioned chapters, he or she will greatly learn from the many inferences and conclusions they can draw from there. Expository pastors who are looking for help in there next sermon will not find here. Preaching the New Testament offers no direct advice for the procrastinating pulpiteers, instead the book should be read long and pondered upon in advance before preparing for a sermon or even a sermon series. The book as I have found out stimulates insights into the significance and meaning of the New Testament for modern audiences. This paper seeks to investigate in the form a critical reflection how Preaching the New Testament affects its reader towards ministry.
The New Testament preachers who wrote this book proclaimed their message persuasively and passionately. This work explores ways in which we can faithfully preach from those texts. The chapters address main genres and issues in the New Testament. Building on sound communication, interpretation and application principles, this book attempts to support the efforts of ministers and Bible teachers to proclaim the Gospel to hearers today. Preaching has for many years had a long history in Christian Churches. From the Early church apostles to today's ministers, preachers have declared the good news that Jesus not only saves, he sanctifies and is soon going to glorify His people for His own praise and possession.
This book edited by David Wenham and Ian Paul, seeks to help ministers to comprehend how to faithfully declare the good news. In the book, Dr. Carson delivers some well-timed and challenging advice to preachers, that gifted expositors have the capability of working through the new testaments books on a line by line basis. In cases that they succeed in this approach, he continues, they are then dealing with discourse material. However for many of us, the Gospels give us a fine opportunity to select longer textual units than the usual half verse[footnoteRef:2]. [2: Ian Paul, and Wenham David, Preaching the New Testament, 2013, 21]
Carson is not disputing the e significance of verse by verse teaching, instead he looking at the bigger picture by pointing out that most of us may not have the ability to pick apart just a verse and then explain it within the context of the passage and apply it. Preaching the New Testament, will enable those scholarly-inclined Christians as well as preachers and ministers a resource that will enable them to study the Gospels afresh.
Early in the last century, proponents of the historical-critical model believed that they could determine with certainty the objective meaning of a text. Now at the start of a post modern era, we are facing an almost exact opposite challenge -- the idea that one interpretation is as good as the other since there is no objectivity in meaning. This particular book is based on the idea that neither proposition is true. No individual can give an infallible and objective...
Ian Simms Without a body, how would investigators be able to bring Ian Simms to justice? When Helen McCourt disappeared on February 9, 1988, investigators interviewed several individuals near the George and Dragon pub in Billinge, Lancashire who reported hearing screams and loud noises coming from Ian Simms's apartment.

Ian Teford. My assumptions of his motivations. Telford's motivation seems to be money, although he also seems to be a person who cannot be content with one project, is restless and ambitious, and constantly rushing onto something new. He is also current with the times and is aware of opportunity when he sees. Recognizing that the Internet posed great opportunity and that he could use it, Telford saw where he

The speech uses of and the three modes of persuasion: pathos, ethos, and logos. The use of epiphora, particularly in tricolon format, lends both cadence and emphasis.

Paul's First Missionary Journey The conversion of Paul from Saul on his way to Damascus marked the beginning of his evangelical work.
