Is the typical didactic sermon still an adequate vehicle for
communicating essential biblical truth? In this provocative and
enlightening volume, Larry Lange contends that story sermons are a
far more effective way to proclaim the Good News in a modern world
that largely communicates through narrative-driven multimedia
spectacle. The powerful stories in the Bible don't need to be
turned into morals or ideas to convey the gospel. But because they
were composed in a radically different cultural context, they may
require additional explanation or interpretation to make them
relevant for contemporary audiences. So how can a preacher add
narrative elements to these stories without diminishing their
dramatic impact or changing their meaning? Retelling The Story
outlines an innovative process for retelling biblical stories that
utilizes fictional elements and contexts yet remains faithful to
the scriptural text. Several creative and homiletical issues are
comprehensively examined, and six sample sermons are included to
illustrate various aspects of this process at work. Inject exciting
new life into the old, old story with this primer for developing
dramatic sermons that touch hearts and minds and souls. Lange's
book is very well connected to recent homiletical literature, is
well researched, deeply biblical, and creatively challenging.
Parish pastors will benefit from this clear and brief presentation
of biblical retelling. Richard A. Jensen Carlson Professor of
Homiletics emeritus Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago Larry
Lange and his wife, Julie Wrubbel-Lange, serve as the pastors of
Grace Lutheran Church in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Lange is a graduate
of Carthage College (B.A.), the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
(M.A.), the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (M.Div.), and
the Association of Chicago Theological Schools (D.Min.).
