Christ-Centered Preaching

An excellent and helpful reminder from Bryan Chappell on the nature of Christ-Centered Preaching:

"Christ-centered preaching rightly understood does not seek to discover where Christ is mentioned in every text but to disclose where every text stands in relation to Christ. The grace of God culminating in the person and work of Jesus unfolds in many dimensions throughout the pages of Scripture. The goal of the preacher is not to find novel ways of identifying Christ in every text (or naming Jesus in every sermon) but to show how each text manifests God's grace in order to prepare and enable his people to embrace the hope provided by Christ."

Bryan Chappell, Christ-Centered Preaching, 279.

Whose Community? Which Interpretation? by Merold Westphal


Excellent book on the role of the reader in hermeneutics. A defense of Gadamerian interpretation. Recommended.
