5.0 out of 5 stars An exercise in reading the Old Testament for fun and profit, 22 Oct 2007
By Mark Barnes (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Any preacher who has read Ralph Davis' commentaries on the Old Testament historical books, or heard him preach, will be in no doubt that he is a man who has that rare combination of exegetical thoroughness, no-nonsense application, warm-hearted pastoral concern, and not a little dry humour to boot. It is a brave preacher who will preach from a passage in Joshua - 2 Kings without at least consulting Davis first.

The logic of Davis' exegesis is usually so compelling, that the preacher can often be left asking himself the question, Why couldn't I see that? This makes this new book (full title: The Word became Fresh: How to Preach from Old Testament Narrative Texts) extremely appealing.

After an introductory chapter on the right approach to the Old Testament, Davis deals with seven different ways in which Old Testament writers get their readers' attention and make their point. Each chapter is full of brief, but pertinent, examples from Scripture, which makes one wish a Scriptural index of the passages discussed had been added.

Of course this little book (150 pages) cannot contain all the answers. That is not its intention. But what it does, it does remarkably well. It opens our eyes to the riches of the Old Testament, and the skill and insight of those responsible for its content (both human and divine). It reminds us that exegesis is truly a hard work. This book makes clear that there is no magical formula that will make our sermons just fall into place. Davis' wisdom has come through years of patient study. This book may speed things up for us, but it won't make endeavour unnecessary. This in turn reminds us of our great need for the Spirit to help our study. But, just as importantly, this book fills us with enthusiasm for the Old Testament. I wanted to preach a sermon every time I turned the page! As I read the book with an open Bible, what I learned was too good not to share (just ask my wife!). Davis' intention was that the book is to be `an exercise in reading the Old Testament for fun and profit'. It is certainly that.

With this book, Ralph Davis has rescued us from any excuse to fear or neglect Old Testament narrative, or to put it out of the reach of our congregations through shoddy workmanship. If you can buy only one book on preaching this year, put this one at the very top of your list.

5.0 out of 5 stars *The* Book on Exposition of OT Narrative, 24 Jun 2007
By Mr. David W. Legg (Ashford, Middlesex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr Davis is now extremely well-known for his ability to cut through what he calls the "errant theology" of 19th and 20th centuries to uncover Yahweh's true intentions when breathing out Old Testament Biblical narrative passages. All kinds of exegetical fallacies are exposed, but this book should not be seen as negative or critical because he outlines numerous principles for getting to the heart of narrative passages and then shows the expositor how to apply them to 21st Century people. This is book is an absolute *must-read* for all preachers and Bible study leaders who venture into the Old Testament, but then, some don't ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it, preacher or not!, 28 April 2009
By Mr. Martin Walker (Dorset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What the previous reviewers have said is all true. What it's worth emphasizing is that this book is worth getting just for the encouraging insights about God & what it's like knowing/following God. Each example the author gives of handling a text has something for your soul too. Whether you preach, or just want to improve how you interpret the Bible, or just need some solid encouragement, this book a real gem.
