SACS at SBL: Scripture-Based Models for Preaching

What can Scripture itself teach us about preaching? How did biblical authors appropriate Scripture in their own preaching? What can we learn from portions of Scripture that were intended to urge certain ways of thinking to lead to right ways of living, such as Proverbs? This seminar explores these questions and others. The focus is not on homiletics per se, but rather models for preaching that emerge organically from Scripture itself.

Our presentations are:

• “Hebrews: Preaching to the People of God from the Word of God”
  Dana Harris (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School)
• “’This is that’: Scripture-based proclamation in Acts”
  Steve Walton (Trinity College, Bristol, UK)
• “613 Points (or So) and a Poem (or Two): Watching Moses Preaching (in) Deuteronomy”
  Brent Strawn (Duke Divinity School)
