A carefully nuanced presentation of Paul the preacher and the message he preached

In Preaching from the Cross, Frank Matera explores Paul's understanding of his own preaching and relates Paul's theology of proclamation to preaching today.

Anyone who reads and absorbs this small but significant--and deeply spiritual--book will be a better interpreter of Paul the preacher and a better preacher of the powerful gospel of the cross and resurrection that Paul proclaimed.
--Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary's Seminary & University

Matera has brought a lifelong passion for Paul to this powerful book, directed to all Christian preachers and readers. The book contains a carefully nuanced presentation of Paul the preacher and the message he preached: the new creation made universally available in and through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
--Francis J. Moloney, SDB, Catholic Theological College, University of Divinity, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

In this unique, integrative volume, a distinguished biblical theologian and experienced practitioner of preaching articulates the theology of preaching he discerns in the Pauline corpus. Readers called to the ministry of proclamation will come away with a renewed sense of the vital importance of this lifelong and life-changing task and invaluable food for thought about what it means to preach with integrity in a Pauline manner.
--Frances Taylor Gench, Union Presbyterian Seminary

This volume explores Paul's preaching from the cross through his theology of proclamation. Focusing on the why, what, and how of Paul's preaching, Matera presents comprehensive theses for integrating Paul's gift of preaching into a necessary challenge for incisive and active homiletics today.
--Sherri Brown, Creighton University

An insightful exposition of Paul's theology and practice of preaching, covering all aspects of this significant but overlooked topic. This book should be required reading for all preachers of the Word from any denomination. It also offers a wider audience a superb summary of Paul's unparalleled proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
--Ronald D. Witherup, PSS, St. Mary's Seminary & University
