In recent years, popular new forms of Bible translation have
emerged -- "The Message, The Book of God, The Living Bible" --
proving many modern biblical seekers are looking for a kind of
Scripture-to-English guidebook. This exceptional book offers a
similar avenue to pastors wanting to reach their congregations in a
fresh way. Rather than discussing preaching in general or even a
specific approach to preaching, "In Other Words" focuses on a way
of engaging the biblical text for preaching.
Cosgrove and Edgerton combine critical acumen, creative
imagination, and pastoral discernment to form contemporizing
restatements of scripture, speaking timeless truths in modern
speech. Describing their "incarnational translation," the authors
invite readers to imagine what the text might have looked like if
produced in the preacher's own culture, time, and place. Drawing on
translation theory, genre studies, and recent hermeneutical theory,
they offer a comprehensive theory of incarnational translation and
a set of specific guidelines and examples for carrying it out.
"In Other Words" is not a new method of preaching, but a new way
of engaging and presenting the biblical text in preaching, one that
is well suited to contemporary approaches and trends.
