The discipline of preaching has undergone several evolutionary
moments in the past century, focusing on its purpose as being
variously persuasion, explanation, and, most recently,
communication. Of particular and lingering influence has been Harry
Emerson Fosdick's "preaching as counseling" model, which urged
therapeutic, individualistic methods upon the pastor. In the search
for a model of preaching that is apt for our postmodern moment, Kay
Northcutt respectfully eschews these earlier models and suggests
that the "what" of preaching should consist in spiritual formation
or the practice of "spiritual direction" - pointing listeners to
God. Taking an evocative, rather than "how-to," approach, Northcutt
notes the gaps created by these earlier models and makes a case not
only for framing preaching as an "attractive art" but also for
understanding the preacher's authority as particularly religious in
nature. By demonstrating the dynamics of her model of preaching as
spiritual direction, the author provides readers with a new
paradigm for developing their own homiletical discipline.
