The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church is a multivolume study by Hughes Oliphant Old that canvasses the history of preaching from the words of Moses at Mount Sinai through modern times. In Volume 1, The Biblical Period, Old begins his survey by discussing the roots of the Christian ministry of the Word in the worship of Israel. He then examines the preaching of Christ and the Apostles. Finally, Old looks at the development and practice of Christian preaching in the second and third centuries, concluding with the ministry of Origen.

A wonderful start to this helpful seven volume set. Old is clear and on point. He has a great grasp on the kerygma and challenges preachers to see themselves in the historic context of the church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to the History of Preaching, as well as to Early Church History
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2016
I have really enjoyed this first volume. This is the first book I've read from this Author, and he has quite an "easy to read" approach. So I am quite looking forward to the volumes that follow :)

In this first volume, the Author takes quite an intriguing approach to the Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Church, by starting back in the Old Testament - and not just from the start of the Synagogue - but going way back, and examining how Prophets and others used Scripture. He then proceeds through the inter-testamental period (and beyond) with a good coverage of Judaism - covering both Temple and Synagogue. Then an excellent (though not exhaustive) look at the use of Scripture and Preaching in the New Testament. Finally covering the Second and Third Centuries - with good coverage of Justim Martyr, Tertullian, Melito, Clement of Alexander, Origen (quite a bit on him) and more.

I have had a keen interest in Church History for about 35 years, and this is a brilliant way to go through this Early Period - examining the use of Scripture and how it was Preached. I am learning a lot, and in some cases I feel like I am visiting "old friends" and seeing new insights about them.

This book is well referenced, and highly recommended for both those involved in Preaching and those with an interest in Church History. Expertise in either area is not a requirement, as the Author's style is very readable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone inmterested in the history of preaching.
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 1998
Given the monumental scope of the topic, Old makes the history of preaching interesting and managable. The book is as much a history of the use of the bible in church as it is a history of preaching. His methodology is classic. He takes the reader from Mt. Sinai through the prophets into the earliest days of the Christian Church. He traces the various kinds of preaching through the patristic era in both East and West. These two volumes should be mandatory reading in every seminary. As an Eastern Orthodox Priest, I found the first two volumes of this series extremely helpful and informative.
