Proclaiming Jesus: Christ-Centered Teaching and Preaching

by Tony Merida

Proclaiming Jesus is a call to teach and preach that which is of first importance: the gospel. In a day in which the gospel is often ignored or assumed or placed as a matter of secondary importance, Proclaiming Jesus calls us back to the apostolic pattern exalting the hero of the Bible in every message. At the heart of Proclaiming Jesus is the belief that the gospel is what everyone needs, and it’s what everyone needs to learn to communicate.

Reviews

[C.J. Moore]

This is one of the first preaching books that I read as a young preacher myself. For that, it is priceless. This is a short book, but that's where much of its strength lies. Merida doesn't overwhelm the reader with vocabulary that few theologians and pastors know. Rather, he is practical and helpful to the one trying to better himself for the greatest task anyone can do.

Great Book for those who desire to teach the Word

This was an excellent book! Tony walks through how to proclaim Christ in every sermon! The Christ-centered approach is the only approach.

[Josh Robinson]

Refreshing. This book covers everything you'd want in a book about preaching. I also greatly appreciated Tony tying in that pastors must not only preaching and know the Historical and Literary Contexts, but they also must be able to weave it all together with Redemptive-Historical context as well.
