Preaching is a very personal process: a minister or speaker
prepares his or her own sermon and presents it to the congregation.
Sermons draw upon the Bible as a central source, and the source
provides a basis of faith for the believing community. The
preaching event is also personal for the individual members of the
congregation, who receive the preacher's words, based on a biblical
text, in their own unique way. In the synthesis of Biblical text,
sermon, and listener response, many testimonies are present.
"Preaching and the Personal" is a collection of papers that have
been presented at the Society of Biblical Literature. These papers
encourage and nurture dialogue among scholars who share an interest
in the unique theological problems inherent to the relationship
between biblical interpretation and proclamation. Preaching and the
Personal opens a stimulating dialogue in the field. J. Dwayne
Howell is Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew in the School of
Theology at Campbellsville University in Campbellsville, Kentucky,
and pastor of the Rolling Fork Baptist Church in Gleanings,
Kentucky. He serves as the chair of the Homiletics and Biblical
Studies Section of the Society of Biblical Literature. "People do
not resist the call to the ministry because they are afraid they
will have to prepare church budgets. No, like so many who went
before them, they do not feel adequate to accept the responsibility
of proclaiming God's word. I encourage all, from neophyte to
seasoned preachers, to engage in this fascinating conversation.
These preachers and scholars challenge us to reflect upon the
crucial issues of identity and authority in the pulpit." Lucy Lind
Hogan, Hugh Latimer Elderdice Professor of Preaching and Worship,
Wesley Theological Seminary. "This volume provides a much-needed
insight into the preaching event. Its title aptly reflects the
authors' firm belief that text, preacher, and congregant are all
active participants in interpreting and understanding Scripture.
Divergent voices have contributed essays, yielding a collection
that addresses many kinds of preaching events." Nancy L.
deClaisse-Walford, Carolyn Ward Professor of Old Testament and
Biblical Languages, McAfee School of Theology."
