Book Review: The Word Became Fresh

The Word Became Fresh: How to Preach from Old Testament Narrative TextsThe Word Became Fresh: How to Preach from Old Testament Narrative Texts by Dale Ralph Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A really good introduction to preaching OT narrative. Pastor Davis doesn't just tell you what to do. He shows you how to do it. Also, he has an easy to follow writing style. I especially enjoyed his gentle critique of some of the negative aspects of the "Christ-centered preaching" movement. His chapter on the nasty portions of the Old Testament was excellent as well.

Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds, let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind the kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. Psalm 149:5-8
