This accessible resource helps preachers and teachers determine the big idea of each book of the Bible, allowing them to check their interpretation of particular biblical books and passages.

They ask, 'What is God saying an...

No one preaches in a cultural vacuum. The message of what God has done in Christ is good news to all, but to have the greatest impact on its hearers--or even to be understood at all--it must be culturally contextualized. Finding Our Voice speaks clearly to an issue that has largely been ignored: preaching to Asian North American (ANA) contexts. In addition to reworking hermeneutics, theology, and homiletics for these overlooked contexts, Kim a...

An important book for pastors"Kim writes with the sensitivity of a pastor, the experience of a multicultural minority person, and the knowledge of an experienced homiletics professor--a wonderful combination for helping us think through what is needed to bring knowledge of hermeneutics, humans, and homiletics to bear on the task of preaching in a world of rapidly integrating cultures."--Bryan Chapell, Stated Clerk Pro Tempore, Presbyterian Chu...
