Abstract: Those who bear the responsibility of preparing men for the mm1stry of the Word of God have a steady concern for emphasizing and demonstrating the dynamic movement from the Word written to the Word proclaimed. This movement, which has its roots in exegesis, or interpretation, and finds its fulfillment in preaching, experienced such a renaissance at the time of the Reformation that it may be described as one part of our Reformed heritage. It was perfectly natural, for example, that John Calvin, a prolific author of commentaries on books of both Testaments, was also a prodigious preacher whose extant sermons number in the thousands. To this day, preparation for biblical exegesis and biblical preaching remain an integral part of the curriculum in seminaries of the Reformed faith. Although exegesis and preaching are always united in the person of the minister of the word, there is a division of labor at the point of instruction. The occasion of the installation of a professor of biblical languages and literature and a professor of preaching offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate our mutual concern for both parts of this single organic movement. That movement originates in a selected pericope, or scripture portion, and moves from the determination of the ancient text itself through a process of exegesis and exposition to an application of this Word of God to the world of today.
