Description: Preaching has fallen on hard times with many
questioning its relevance and even its validity as a New Testament
practice. This symposium of specially commissioned essays draws
together an international team of thirteen scholars and pastors to
address the importance of textual preaching in the history and life
of the early church, the historic church, and the contemporary
church. Contributions include essays on Old Testament preaching,
preaching in Hebrews, gender-sensitive preaching, preaching in the
theology of Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, and in Eastern Orthodoxy. It also includes essays on a
range of homiletical challenges that textual preaching raises for
the contemporary preacher, including genre, preaching without
notes, inhabiting the text, and preaching without platitudes. A
final reflection by Dave Hansen on the state of textual preaching
rounds out the collection. The preaching of the gospel stands at
the heart of Christian praxis. These essays make a vital
contribution to the recovery of the importance of preaching,
focused on the text of Scripture. Written with an eye to the pastor
and practitioner as well as those in the pews and in the classroom,
this is a book that should appeal to a wide range of readers.
