Additional Info
Duane Litfin, former president of Wheaton College, explores how Paul’s theology of preaching can inform the church’s preaching today. Through a detailed study of 1 Corinthians 1-4, Litfin shows how Paul’s method of proclamation differed from Greco-Roman rhetoric and how Pauline preaching can be a model for the contemporary preaching task.
