Though being dead, yet he speaketh

One of the greatest gems in the treasure-house of exposition over recent years was Ed Clowney, 1917–2005. He wrote books, defending the thesis that the proclamation of the pulpit is to be a setting forth of none other that Jesus Christ. He wrote commentaries and articles, showing how this applies in particular passages. He practised what he preached—or do we say, he preached what he preached? And he was a man of many talents, as his Wikipedia page illustrates. I'm sure I wasn't alone in being saddened to hear, a few years ago, of the death of a man I'd never heard preach, but whose books and articles have been a real help at different times.

And now, it is possible to hear a whole host of Clowney's sermons from sermonaudio.com. (With acknowledgement to Scott Clark of the Heidelblog.)
