And it's important to remember that his identity as a person is part of the doctrine.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113808932788409800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-5624628254914327932011-08-24T14:41:11.965-05:002011-08-24T14:41:11.965-05:00Does the biblical model/directive obligate us to f...Does the biblical model/directive obligate us to find the person of Christ at every turn - or the Gospel - the way to salvation? Consider Romans 15:4 "For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope". <br /><br />The perfection, deity and sacrifice of Christ are critical to the Gospel, but could it be that the Luke passage is broader - focusing on the gospel and Christ's role in providing salvation rather than confining our interpretation to finding the person of Christ?<br /><br />Another similar passage is Ephesians 3 where Paul preaches "Christ", but the implication is that "Christ" is broader than just the person of Christ, but also includes Christ's doctrine. Kind of like saying that a person teaches "Marx" and by that meaning the system propagated by Marx, not just the person of Karl Marx.Joshua Caucutthttp://www.soundchurch.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-74503756321179051232011-08-19T17:58:39.551-05:002011-08-19T17:58:39.551-05:00Was Saint Augustine's exegesis correct?

I intended to link to that <a href="http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/3672/nm/Judges%3A+Such+a+Great+Salvation/?utm_source=%20bwright&utm_medium=%20bwright" rel="nofollow">Judges</a> commentary, as well as his work on <a href="http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/2593/nm/Joshua%3A+No+Falling+Words/?utm_source=%20bwright&utm_medium=%20bwright" rel="nofollow">Joshua</a>, Samuel, and Kings. I haven't used them for sermon prep yet, but they're exactly the sort of commentary that's helpful for sermons on narratives—much more so than what you'll find in so many other sets.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113808932788409800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-45647880994689255802011-08-19T10:31:39.077-05:002011-08-19T10:31:39.077-05:00Hi Ben

He has a refreshing approach.<br /><br />Might have to get Mathewson one of these days, too.<br /><br />Maranatha!<br />Don Johnson<br />Jer 33.3Don Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332212749734904541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-40250665260735910922011-08-19T05:52:50.737-05:002011-08-19T05:52:50.737-05:00I think Steve Mathewson's *The Art of Preachin...I think Steve Mathewson's *The Art of Preaching Old Testament Narrative* is an excellent book on the topic, the best I know of on preaching OT narrative. Well worth reading, IMO.<br /><br />I haven't read Davis, but the paragraph you cite is the conclusion I have come to.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886866662463467215noreply@blogger.com
