How do you preach the fierce wrath of God in the Old Testament without losing the message of grace? And is finding Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures politically incorrect?

In this Q&A follow-up, Dr. Edmund Clowney and Dr. Tim Keller tackle some of the most challenging practical and theological questions that arise when preaching from the Old Testament. They address the profound tension between God's judgment and His mercy, reminding us that even Jesus spoke boldly about the reality of judgment.

The instructors also share practical advice on sermon preparation, explaining why New Testament scholars are often bolder at pointing to Christ than Old Testament commentators. Finally, Dr. Keller shares his pastoral experience in New York City, offering a brilliant apologetic response to those who claim that preaching Christ from the Old Testament is "Christian imperialism" or racially insensitive.
