Knowles, Michael P, We Preach Not Ourselves: Paul on Proclamation. Grand Rapids, MI: Brazos Press, 2008. 266 pp. $28.00.
Knowles teaches preaching at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario. This book is an exposition of Paul’s self-understanding as a preacher and minister as he reveals himself in 2 Corinthians 1-6. The book is divided into six chapters, each of which focuses on a section of that text. This eloquent and deeply thoughtful book will inspire the minister to develop his own theology of ministry and spirituality of preaching based on Paul’s own self-reflections.
