Overview

In C. K. Barrett, we meet a beloved biblical scholar and gifted preacher who never lost touch with his Wesleyan heritage. In the wake of discovering Barrett's sermon notebooks, it became immediately apparent to Dr. Ben Witherington that these sermons were of immense value for, not only students of modern Methodism, but also for theologians and pastors who want to see how a master interweaves insightful biblical exposition and Wesleyan theology.

I, like generations of preachers, have been tutored by C. K. Barrett, the biblical scholar who helped us into the biblical text by sharing his unending delight in the joys of scripture. What a delightful collection of great biblical preaching. Will Willimon At a time when a great gulf exists between serious biblical scholarship and most preaching, the sermons of C. K. Barrett--arguably the most significant New Testament scholar of the twentieth century--offer an instructive and rewarding corrective. These sermons are pure gold. David Bauer C. K. Barrett's sermons are the gospel in miniature. John Barclay It is nothing but a delightful and spiritually forming experience to read the sermons of C. K. Barrett, a scholar I have treasured my entire academic life. I now admire his spiritual formation as visible in every one of these sermons. Scot McKnight It is wonderful to have this treasury of Barrett's pulpit work to inspire a new generation of Christ's heralds today. Timothy George
