Each volume uniquely combines the insights of an experienced Bible exegete (trained in interpretation) and a homiletician (trained in preaching). These two authors work together to explain the essential message for the original listeners or readers, unpack its timeless truth, and then provide a contemporary restatement and communication insights for the key biblical concept. Every book is written with the real needs of the pastor and teacher in sight, providing many ways to creatively express the principal thought of a biblical passage.
The Corinthian church was home to a wide array of different ethnicities, cultures, and social classes. Consequently, the church had numerous problems living out its proper identity as the body of Christ. Authors Michael H. Burer and David B. Kieffer show how, with deep theological reflection and application, Paul addressed the factionalism, social stratification, theological issues, and harmful behaviors that had been imported into the church.
Based on the Big Idea preaching model, Kerux enhances the reader's ability to deliver a message that is biblical, cohesive, and dynamic.
