Preaching Christ from Psalms: Foundations for Expository Sermons in the Christian Year

Sidney Greidanus

In this penultimate volume of his series on preaching Christ from the Old Testament, Sidney Greidanus offers expert guidance for busy pastors on preaching Christ from Psalms.

Beginning with a general introduction on how pastors can interpret and preach from the biblical psalms -- and why they should -- Greidanus proceeds by discussing twenty-two psalms in the Revised Common Lectionary, Year A, supplying the building blocks necessary to preach from Psalms at Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, and other major days and seasons of the church year. In addition to laying out basic homiletical-theological approaches suitable for each selected psalm, these chapters also provide verse-by-verse exposition, bridges to Christ in the New Testament, and ideas for placing the psalmist's words into contemporary context.

Praise for this book

Bryan Chapell
--Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, Illinois
"No one has been more influential in this generation of preachers, and in my life personally, than Sidney Greidanus on the necessity of Christ's purposes pervading all biblical exposition. I welcome this latest contribution to his extensive body of work that has so blessed Christ's church."

Ray Ortlund
--Immanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee
"The Lord is accomplishing a great work of gospel resurgence in our generation. Sidney Greidanus in particular has contributed by helping us pastors preach the Christian gospel accurately and confidently from the entire Bible. Now Greidanus has increased our debt of gratitude with Preaching Christ from Psalms. I expect this book to have a lasting impact not only because of the perennial appeal of the Psalms but also because of the insightful ways Greidanus connects the Psalms with Jesus and his gospel."

Michael Duduit
--Preaching magazine
"Greidanus offers exegetical and literary observations, theological analysis, and expository material that will be a treasure chest of valuable content for any preacher or teacher. He has given yet another gift to his colleagues in the church through this book that will find a valued place on the shelf of many a preacher."

Tremper Longman III
--Westmont College
"I have long admired Sidney Greidanus's writing on preaching from the Old Testament. The Old Testament is often neglected in the pulpit because many think it to be irrelevant to Christians. In this book Greidanus reveals the richness of the Psalms and helps us discover their theological and Christological significance."

Stephen M. Coleman in Bulletin for Biblical Research
"In Preaching Christ from Psalms, Greidanus has taken on a massive project and has executed it with the rare mix of breadth and depth that makes this sort of endeavor a success. Unsurprising for anyone familiar with his previous work, Greidanus compiles and presents a staggering amount of scholarship in a lucid and accessible way. As the title indicates, this volume is geared toward preachers. However, much of the material will be of interest to teachers and students of the Bible who desire a hermeneutical framework that sees Christ as the fulfillment of the psalms."

Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology
"This book is a gold mine for preachers who wish to expound the Book of Psalms. . . . Preachers will find this book to be an invaluable compendium containing multiple fascinating insights into the psalms which provide exciting grist for the interpretive-homiletical mill."
