Author Bio
▼▲Editorial Reviews
▼▲The preachers task takes them beyond interpretation to communication. Simply put, the hopeful end of accurate exegesis will result in a powerful sermon. This seems obvious. However, the obvious is rarely in the purview of the commentator. Little concern is given by superb scholars of the Bible to suggest a useful communication game plan for the preacher. To comprehend the rules of an athletic contest is not the same as having an effective plan to win the contest. Coaching is desperately needed for both. The genius of this series in general, and of David Turners work in particular, is the sound and judicious use of helpful communication strategies given to aid the hard-pressed pastor in their sacred task. This volume displays the wisdom of comprehension and communication joining forces. I believe it will quickly make many lasting friends.
David Turners comprehensive and excellent work on THE GOSPELS AND ACTS has many outstanding features, but none better than its fresh focus on communicating the text once understood. His approach is homiletical gold. -- Don Denyes, Senior Pastor, South Church; Adjunct Professor, Grand Rapid Theological Seminary
David Turner has produced an exceptionally well written exegetical handbook on the Gospels and Acts, taking the student through the full interpretive process, from textual analysis to translation to exegesis to application to proclamation. Through it all Turner manages to be both concise and comprehensive providing a well-researched and well-documented survey of methods and issues without getting bogged down in minutia or unnecessary detail. A true accomplishment. -- Mark L. Strauss, Bethel Seminary, Author of Four Portraits, One Jesus
