The Big Idea Companion for Preaching and Teaching: A Guide from Genesis to Revelation Hardcover -

by Matthew D. Kim (Editor); Scott M. Gibson (Editor)


From the publisher

Preaching 2022 Book of the Year

Haddon Robinson's widely used and influential text, Biblical Preaching, has influenced generations of students and preachers. In The Big Idea Companion for Preaching and Teaching, trusted leading evangelical homileticians, teachers of preaching, and experienced pastors demonstrate that Robinson's "big idea" approach to expository preaching still works in today's diverse cultures and fast-paced world.

This accessible resource offers an insider's view on figuring out the big idea of each book of the Bible, helping preachers and teachers check their interpretation of particular biblical books and passages. The contributors offer tips on how to divide each book of the Bible into preaching and teaching passages, guidance on difficult passages and verses, cultural perspectives for faithful application, and suggested resources for interpreting, preaching, and teaching. Pastors, teachers, Bible study leaders, small groups, and college and seminary students and professors will find a wealth of valuable information in this resource.

From the rear cover

This accessible resource helps preachers and teachers determine the big idea of each book of the Bible, allowing them to check their interpretation of particular biblical books and passages. It demonstrates that Haddon Robinson's "big idea" approach to expository preaching still works in today's diverse cultures and fast-paced world.

"Expository preachers begin at the very beginning (a very good place to start). They ask, 'What is God saying and doing in the text?' This reference work helps us answer questions like this with the methodology formulated more than forty years ago by Haddon Robinson. And it goes beyond Robinson's classic Biblical Preaching with an emphasis on cultural application. Timeless yet up to date, The Big Idea Companion for Preaching and Teaching will benefit anyone who desires to herald the Word."
--Jeffrey Arthurs, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
