Prophetic Preaching: A New Approach

by Otto J. Baab

True prophetic preaching, writes Dr. Otto J. Baab, professor of Old Testament interpretation at Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, Illinois, comes from the preacher's deep experience of God's summons to obey and serve. The process is better understood through a careful consideration of the lives and times of the great Biblical prophets of old and a vivid understanding of how they set the challenges and crises of their day, hearing God's voice, seeing Him at work in the world of men, and obeying his call to proclaim the words and the way of God to men. a study helps a modern prophet to see God still speaking and working in world, and through worship, a faith and action in his community to respond obediently to the call to proclaim his whole gospel of redemption. Protestant preachers will find this new book on preaching suggestive and helpful.
