With its relentless insistence that there is no reality beyond that
which we construct, postmodern thought questions the
presuppositions of many disciplines, including homiletics. Offering
a lively description of the postmodern worldview and its
implications for Christian faith, Confessing Jesus Christ by David
Lose teaches preachers how to rise to the challenges posed by our
postmodern world. Few if any books on preaching offer such a
comprehensive investigation of postmodern thought or yield such a
wealth of insights for relevant Christian proclamation.
Significantly, Lose sees postmodernism not primarily as an obstacle
to the church but as an opportunity for it to stand once again on
faith alone rather than on attempts to prove the faith. According
to Lose, preaching that seeks to be both faithful to the Christian
tradition and responsive to our pluralistic, postmodern context is
best understood as the public practice of confessing faith in Jesus
Christ. He explores the practical implications of a confessional
homiletic for preaching and also provides concrete methods for
preparing sermons that meaningfully bridge biblical texts and
contemporary congregations.
