Eighteen of these sermons appear here, for the first time in English translation. They focus on the events of Jesus' ministry in Galilee: his baptism, his testing by Satan, the calling of his first disciples, his teaching and his works of healing. In consecutive sermons the preacher traces the drama of Jesus' confrontation with the forces of darkness and unbelief, which make him a prophet without honour in his own country. For the time being, his identity as Messiah remains hidden. Already, however, he is filled with the Spirit of God who empowers and directs him; already Satan must contend with one stronger than he; already the poor have good news preached to them; already God's kingdom is present in Jesus' gracious words and mighty works.
