As those who have read his The Shadow of the Galilean and Biblical
Faith are aware, Gerd Theissen is not someone whose main concern is
the theory and practice of preaching. However, he himself is a
fascinating preacher, as was evident in his imaginative collection
The Open Door, which Frances Young in Theology described as
'nothing less than gripping'. In this book he engages as it were in
self-analysis, an analysis of haw he preaches, in order to offer
help to others. A first draft was shown to younger ministers, women
and men, for their critical comments, and the book derives from
lectures which gave rise to lively discussion. Professor Theissen's
illuminating comments are grouped round a variety of focal points.
The first chapter discusses the biblical world and how that can be
approached; then comes the text, and the new possibilities offered
by the 'open' text. The third chapter examines how preaching can
talk about God and the fourth looks at the existential dimension of
preaching. A fifth chapter on preaching as communication is
followed by five sample sermons. Preachers will learn a great deal
from this book - but so too will their congregations, and anyone
interested in the communication of Christianity in the modern
world. Few theologians are richer in creative ideas than Gerd
Theissen, and they are here in abundance.
