The April 11 “Towers” is now available online. In this issue, we stab the fat man – well, at least Ehud does in our feature article instructing readers about how to preach the Gospel from the Book of Judges. In our feature article, Greg Gilbert, a Southern Seminary alumnus, discusses the usefulness of both biblical theology and systematic theology in preaching Jesus from Old Testament texts (page 3). Gilbert is senior pastor of Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky.
The PDF for the April 11 issue is available at the SBTS Resources page.
