Preaching the Luminous Word: Biblical Sermons and Homiletical Essays

Theologically informed and richly instructive, Preaching the Luminous Word is a collection of fifty-one sermons and five homiletic essays from noted preacher and biblical scholar Ellen F. Davis. Featuring a brief preface that sets each message in its geographic and liturgical context and highlights themes, the sermons are arranged in canonical order and cover a scope of texts—Torah, Prophets, Writings, Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation. The sermons are complemented by essays on various aspects of biblical interpretation for preaching.

At once accessible, theologically informed, and rhetorically rich, this volume will engage preachers, teachers, seminarians, church leaders, and serious lay readers.
