Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World
Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World
Podcast Description
Originally taught as a Doctor of Ministry course, “Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World” is the lecture series that shaped a generation of Reformed preachers and teachers.In this course, Tim Keller (1950–2023) and Edmund Clowney (1917–2005) ask, “Is Jesus made visible in every sermon or only talked about?” After critiquing other models of preaching that either exhort on moral levels or merely attempt to evoke an emotional response, Keller and Clowney articulate a model of preaching that is Christocentric.This model of preaching focuses on three aspects to guide the listener and preacher: First, how does this text tell me about Christ? Second, how does this text show that the listener’s life is poor without Christ. Third, how to lead the listener to worship and adore Christ.
