Grasping God's Word





The next three questions determine how a preacher relates a text’s meaning: 4. What do we share in common with those to (or about) whom the text was written and/or the one by whom the text was written? 5. How should people now respond to the truths of the text? 6. What is the most effective way I can communicate the meaning of the text?
Bryan Chapell • Christ-Centered Preaching
The intent of all the dimensions of exegetical study, including biblical theology, should be to enable preachers to convey the meaning of a specific passage in a way that is consistent with the gospel message of all Scripture.
