Overview

Biblical apocalyptic texts are among the most difficult parts of the Bible to preach. Even so, these remarkable visions are a gift to the church and provide much needed perspective for the modern Christian. In this volume, students of preaching and active preachers will find interpretive and practical help for handling this challenging genre. Hermeneutic insights, homiletic strategies, and sample sermons aid readers in not only preaching these portions of God's Word, but preaching them effectively.

"""Ryan Boys fills a gap, a rather large gap, in the preacher's tool box: the ability to preach apocalyptic texts. Preaching and teaching from apocalyptic texts such as Daniel, Zechariah, the Olivet Discourse, and Revelation is no easy task. I recommend this volume to pastors and teachers who are passionate about proclaiming the whole counsel of God."" -Benjamin L. Gladd, Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, MS ""Preaching the whole counsel of God means not avoiding tough apocalyptic texts. For those venturing into this oft-unfamiliar territory, Dr. Boys offers guidance that is exegetically robust and homiletically nuanced, yet crystal clear. The book left me more eager to preach apocalyptic passages and more prepared to to so in an edifying way."" -Eric W. Zeller, Ph.D., President and Professor of New Testament, Gulf Theological Seminary ""Ryan Boys has written the ""go to"" book for preaching the apocalyptic literature of the Bible. No other resource that I know of combines a high view of Scripture, a knowledge of the original languages, deep research of the apocalyptic genre, and an understanding of expository preaching. And this is a book pastors like me need. This book will equip readers to confidently and responsibly preach the apocalyptic literature of the Bible in ways that will build up our flocks."" -Chris Brauns, Senior Pastor of the Red Brick Church of Stillman Valley, Illinois, author of Unpacking Forgiveness"
