Doing preaching well
I don’t normally link to other blogs, especially ones that you’re probably reading anyway. What’s the point? He likes me and I like him and I like that he likes me (continue ad nauseam). Nevertheless, occasionally stuff comes up that is gold dust for preachers. Here’s one such link. This is Don Carson on doing theology and reading the Bible well. I’ve had a conversation with Don about this stuff before – how good Bible readers need to use biblical theology, systematic theology, historical theology and pastoral theology – each in its own place – none given too much space, and none given too little. His points about reading the Bible well are well made and especially useful for all preachers and teachers. Read and digest. And think about whether your study work looks right, as a consequence. And, if you’re interested, Don is speaking at next year’s EMA.
