The reading of the word of God is intimately tied with his will and his work in the world. Hans Boersma posits a sacramental presence of Christ the preaching of the Bible, and in the reading of the Old Testament. His guidance for preaching provides exegetical and homiletical paths toward this richer picture of teaching God’s word. Relying on the example of the Church Fathers, his approach is tied to historical interpretive and theological practices from the past. As the J.I. Packer Professor of Theology at Regent College, his perspective provides helps for the preacher and interpreter from within the Reformed tradition.
