How does the preacher know what God might say now based upon the
many things God said then? Preachers and theologians throughout
Christian history have grappled with Scripture's diverse emphases
alongside the urgent task of declaring the authoritative Word of
God in the contemporary pulpit. Aaron Edwards offers a new way of
engaging with this problem, by exploring the theological
relationship between biblical dialectics and heraldic proclamation.
Edwards highlights the theological necessity of dialectical
variety, without forfeiting assertiveness in the prophetic moment
of preaching. A vast array of key voices from the theological
tradition are drawn upon - including Augustine, Aquinas, Eckhart,
Luther, Calvin, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Chesterton, Barth, Bultmann,
Tillich, Ebeling, and others - to navigate the connection between
Scriptural unity, clarity, and paradoxical plurivocality, leading
to a nuanced account of dialectic. Applying this to the
homiletically neglected concept of 'heraldic' confidence in
preaching, Edwards examines the theological possibility of
preaching in light of dialectical complexity via its 'prophetic'
dimension. He shows how the uniquely revelatory relationship of
Word and Spirit enables Scriptural illumination, prophetic
discernment, and dialectical decisiveness in the 'momentary'
encounter which undergirds all Christian proclamation.
