You know . . .Abraham Kuruvilla . . . the native of Kuwait, born to Indian parents, with degrees in immunology, pediatrics, and dermatology? Who also teaches Homiletics and Hermeneutics at Dallas Theological seminary? Who also volunteers his time and talents in the pulpit to give his pastor a few months vacation? The same guy who listens to Bach . . .and jazz . . . and acapella?
Our very own 21st century Renaissance man. The man who sold his medical practice to preach the Word.
Just wanted you to know who you are going to be reading from, so that there is no confusion. And if he brings that much to a book . . . and expects. . . no, demands! . . . that much from himself, imagine the wealth of ideas and practical applications that preachers and pastors are going to find in a book subtitled: "A Theological Hermeneutic For Preaching."
It's all in there, and it's a book that needs to be at the elbow of every student of Scripture as they strive to properly interpret and apply scripture . . . both the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament.
Romans 10:14 asks several pointed questions: "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" Romans 10:14 (KJV)
Privilege the Text helps us to hear!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
5 stars for humble excellence and God-given passion!
