Elizabeth Achtemeier examines the often-neglected Minor Prophets and explains them as they reflect the church at worship and at work. She sets the Minor Prophets in their canonical context emphasizing the relationship between the message of these prophets and the New Testament. Unique in the use of brief quotations from great preachers' sermons on the prophets, Nahum-Malachi is enriched with the vast insightful store of homiletical interpretation available today.
Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching is a distinctive resource for those who interpret the Bible in the church. Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.

Shedding a new light on perennial questions, Elizabeth Achtemeier examines the contemporary state of marriage and family life from a biblical perspective. With candor, clarity, and passion, the author provides insight into many sources of conflict within a marriage--from discipline of children to women's liberation.

Preaching from the Old Testament

Creative Preaching: Finding the Words

Abingdon Pr

Elizabeth Achtemeier focuses her considerable expertise on the necessity and consequences of thorough training in Christian theology for effective preaching. She illustrates that conviction through the full texts of sixteen sermons and meditations, demonstrating that rhetorical skills and biblical exegesis can be eloquently combined with theological reflection. Having established the imperative for blending creativity, imagination, and common sense with the responsible use of the Scriptures in an earlier volume, Dr. Achtemeier again calls preachers to greater excellence in their craft as she asserts that the preacher is the church's theologian. Therefore, he or she must be thoroughly trained not only in Bible and the art of Homiletics, but also in Christian theology. The sermons she selects as examples in the first section of the book focus on approaches to Christian life in the light of Scriptures and theology. In the second, she centers on the artistry of language that enables the pulpit message to reach the hearts and minds of the hearers. Inspirational and challenging, Preaching as Theology and Art exemplifies the author's creativity as a writer and speaker, her solid knowledge of the bible, and the practicality that her readers have come to expect.

Preaching As Theology And Art

ABINGDON PRESS *

Elizabeth Achtemeier has carefully chosen thirty-one Old Testament passages that are difficult to understand and more difficult still to preach. The sacrifice of Isaac, God's command for Hosea to marry a harlot, Moses' use of the bronze serpent to heal snake bitten Israelites these and many other passages are illumined for the preacher who no longer wants to fear these texts. In each chapter, Achtemeier discusses the text and then offers suggestions for forming a sermon based on that text. In treating specific unsettling passages, Achtemeier also addresses thematic difficulties found throughout the Old Testament, such as the frequent militaristic portrayals of God, the often perplexing behavior of Old Testament prophets, and the many anthropomorphic descriptions of God.

An inspiring celebration of God in relation to His world. Even though we moderns--largely an urbanized population--have practically become strangers to the natural world, we still yearn to be more connected to the natural realm, God's creation. Partly because the Christian church has not preached and taught a whole theology that clearly explains God's connection to the cosmos, a number of "alien faiths" are rushing in to fill the void.
