After the horrors and violence of the twentieth century, words can
seem futile. In this reflection on the place of preaching today,
Richard Lischer recognizes that our mass-communication culture is
exhausted by words. Facing up to language's disappointments and
dead ends, he opens a path to its true end.
With chapters on vocation, interpretation, narration, and
reconciliation, "The End of Words" shows how faithful reading of
Scripture rather than flashy performance paves the way for
effective preaching; Lischer challenges conventional storytelling
with a deeper and more biblical view of narrative preaching. The
ultimate purpose of preaching, he argues, is to speak God's peace,
the message of reconciliation.
While Lischer's "End of Words" will surely be invaluable to
pastors and preachers, his honest, readable style will appeal to
anyone concerned with speaking Christianly.
