Preaching with an Accent Ian Hussey

The Australian preacher has two tasks. Firstly, the hermeneutical task: interpreting the biblical text in its original situation in order to derive its key message. Secondly, the task of contextualisation: making the message relevant for the particular congregation they are called to serve.

Preaching with an Accent is designed to help Australian preachers with both of these tasks. The authors, all active preachers, first give practical guidance on preaching a particular biblical genre. They go on to discern what God may be saying to Australian congregations through that genre.

This volume provides an invaluable resource for preachers seeking to interpret the timeless biblical message and apply it to twenty-first-century Australia.
