"From Text to Sermon", Frederick Dale Bruner and Scott Hoezee, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI, July 19-23, 2010
Good sermons grow out of excellent textual work. Today, however, the demands on a pastor’s schedule all-too-often mean that taking the time needed to engage the text at a significant exegetical level is squeezed out. To help pastors return to a deep love of cracking good biblical study and reflection, renowned Bible commentator and teacher Frederick Dale Bruner will help seminar participants dive deeply into a number of gospel stories from the Gospels of Matthew and John. Dr. Bruner is already well known for his outstanding two-volume commentary on Matthew and has recently finished a forthcoming commentary on John. He will share some of the fruit of his many years of study with participants, after which Scott Hoezee will present sample approaches for turning these good textual insights into fresh and vivid sermons. Participants will return home energized for the preaching task and with a bevy of fresh new ideas for various approaches to the writing of sermons.
