It is tempting for preachers in this digital age of plurality
and diversity to offer quick sound bytes and PowerPoint-style
presentations. These tend to invite a yes or no response, as in
mathematical equations. But if we are to reach Christians across
the theological spectrum andinvite non-Christians to seriously
consider our faith, we must take a different approach.What is
needed is greater attention to poetry and images meant to
communicate the beauty of the faith and the wonder and mystery of
God in everyday life. We must communicate the unity of our message
of faith, the divine as truth, and justice and healing as
expressions of God. Preaching as poetry (theopoetic preaching)
allows for the bold imagery of scripture and the gentle invitation
of art. Sermons can no longer always be neatly tied up, perfectly
linear, with complete answers to every question. In Preaching as
PoetryPaul Scott Wilson teaches why this new approach is necessary
today, and demonstrates with multiple examples how it works in real
sermons. He skillfully guides the reader to incorporate the
classical values of beauty, goodness and truth in every sermon, and
in ways that connect with congregants and listeners today."
