Christusprediking uit die Ou Testament. ’n nuwe benadering tot ’n ou probleem?

Abstract

Preaching Christ from the Old Testament. A new approach to an old problem? This review article deals with Sidney Greidanus’ book on the problem of preaching Christ from the Old Testament (cf. footnote 1). It discusses his previous contributions on preaching, looking at preaching especially from the Old Testament. An extensive discussion and evaluation of this book then follow. In conclusion, a number of observations are made about the present relevance of this work. Greidanus’ work contains an extensive survey of the history of the problem, followed by guidelines from the New Testament. The New Testament’s treatment of the Old Testament is then taken as norm for developing different approaches to preaching Christ from the Old Testament. This publication of Greidanus does not really break new ground, but provides a comprehensive survey of the problem and different approaches to solving the problem.
