I see two types of preaching in the New Testament. Preaching Christ from scripture and preaching Christ from culture. Acts 7 gives us an excellent example of Stephen preaching Christ from scripture. He is speaking to Jews who hold the Bible to be authoritative. Acts 17 is a good example of Paul preaching Christ from culture. He does not appeal to the scriptures for authority but instead appeals to Greek cultural authorities. How do you suppose this should inform the way we understand preaching today?
