A practical guide to preaching the Old Testament

Christopher J. H. Wright addresses two challenges in preaching from the Old Testament: setting it aside as difficult or outdated, and interpreting it as a collection of moral rules or symbolic lessons. The book first makes a case for preaching these texts, then offers guidance across their varied forms, including history, law, prophecy, psalms, and wisdom literature. Checklists, exercises, and sermon examples give the discussion a practical structure. Its central concern is responsible interpretation and the Old Testament’s place in Christian faith and preaching.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Preachers seeking guidance on using Old Testament texts in sermons
  • Teachers looking for practical approaches to biblical genres
  • Readers interested in the Old Testament’s role in Christian faith

Book overview

Many preachers ignore preaching from the Old Testament because they feel it is outdated in light of the New Testament and difficult to expound. On the other hand, some preachers will preach from the Old Testament frequently but fail to handle it correctly, turning it into moralistic rules or symbolic lessons for our spiritual life. In How to Preach and Teach the Old Testament for All Its Worth, Christopher J. H. Wright proclaims that preachers must not ignore the Old Testament. It is the Word of God! The Old Testament lays the foundation for our faith and it was the Bible that Jesus read and used.

Looking first at why we should preach from the Old Testament, the author moves on to show the reader how they can preach from it. Covering the History, Law, Prophets, Psalms, and Wisdom Literature, interspersed with practical checklists, exercises, and sermons, Wright provides an essential guide on how to handle the Old Testament responsibly.
