Preaching Christ from Leviticus

Sidney Greidanus taught at Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan (1990-2004); the King's University College in Edmonton, Alberta (1979-1990); and Calvin College, also in Grand Rapids (1978-1979). Prior to his teaching career, he had served as pastor of two Christian Reformed Churches in Canada from 1970 to 1978. He is the author of several books, including the series of preaching Christ from the major Old Testament genres: Hebrew narrative (GenesisEcclesiastes), prophecy/apocalypse (Daniel), psalms (Psalms), and now law (Leviticus).

"The voice of the Lord fills the book of Leviticus in chapter after chapter of direct speech, yet this portion of God's Word remains neglected in our preaching. In Preaching Christ from Leviticus, Sidney Greidanus draws us back to the literary and theological heart of the Pentateuch to recover a voice speaking to the church with surprising and refreshing relevance. His thoughtful and reproduceable method provides a trustworthy guide along the exegetical journey from text to sermon. Students, pastors, and fellow scholars will benefit from his clear exposition of the text, his Christocentric approach to the theology of Leviticus, and his engaging examples of God's holy Word proclaimed." -- Christine Palmer Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "Preaching from the Old Testament is crucial for the church but often neglected. After all, it is difficult to know how the Old Testament relates to the gospel of Christ, which is the heart of the Christian faith. . . . For those who need help, Sidney Greidanus is an excellent teacher." -- Tremper Longman III author of Confronting Old Testament Controversies "Sidney Greidanus is one of the most gifted advocates of 'redemptive-historical' preaching. . . . In a time when there is much confusion about what it means to preach in fidelity to the Scriptures, we very much need the lessons that he offers us." -- Richard J. Mouw Fuller Theological Seminary "Pastors today are rediscovering how to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ from the entire Bible, cover to cover. One of the foremost scholars leading us in this exciting adventure is Sidney Greidanus." -- Ray Ortlund Immanuel Church, Nashville
