Media Reviews

Reading Bob Fyall's Teaching 1 Kings is like walking into a hermeneutical candy store! He is a master at condensing the flow of a narrative, all the while keeping his finger on the jugular vein of the text. He is guilty of biblical over-stimulation. If you're planning on preaching First Kings (or preaching in it), get this book; if you're not planning to preach First Kings, get this book and you'll want to preach First Kings.

-- Dale Ralph Davis

As in his other writings, so in this current study on 1 Kings, Robert Fyall shows himself to be a reliable guide for those exploring the Old Testament. Through a combination of helps, including explanatory comment and probing questions, he enables the reader to engage with the text of Kings, including passages that seem rather dull and mundane. The aim throughout is to provide the tools for the Christian preacher to teach and apply this part of the Word of God to a contemporary congregation; ultimately to proclaim Christ in a responsible manner.
