Book Description
In this insightful study, Ourisman propounds a new method for crafting sermons from the overly familiar texts of the synoptic gospels, using a narrative approach. Beginning with a step-by-step practice on learning to read the particular emphasis of each of the synoptic gospels, he develops a method for preachers to read those gospels in their diversity and to craft sermons that appropriate their distinctive narrative worlds. While encouraging and teaching us to consider them "stories-of-the-whole," David Ourisman offers a fresh reading of the synoptic gospels.

Selected Bibliography
| “While encouraging
us and teaching us to consider them ‘stories-of-the-whole,’
David Ourisman offers a fresh reading of the synoptic gospels. His
literary insights challenge us to read more carefully, his homiletical
queries ask for proclamations with theological depth, and his sermons
provide moments of devotion. Those who preach the synoptics frequently
will find in Ourisman an interesting and stimulating study partner.”
