It has been said that the day of the sermon is over. Kate Bruce
argues that the day of the poorly conceived, ill prepared, dull,
disconnected, boring, irrelevant, authoritarian, yawn-inducing,
patronizing, pontificating, pointless and badly delivered sermon,
is indeed over. Imagination can help to engage the hearer in a
sermon which seeks to evoke rather than to inform. Imagination
frames how we see the world and ourselves in it. As such it has a
vital role in how preachers see the preaching task itself, which in
turn affects how we go about the task. A theology of imagination is
presented to demonstrate the central importance of imagination in
the life of faith. Allied to this is an analysis of the sacramental
nature of preaching and the role of imagination in enabling the
'aha, now I get it' moment of sacramental 'seeing-as'. Connected to
enabling new seeing, preaching in the lyrical voice is defined and
discussed along with the importance of preachers shaping sermons
for the ear.
