Once again, renowned homiletician David Buttrick has written a
highly practical book that conveys and makes contagious his
excitement for the theological task of preaching. In "Speaking
Jesus," Buttrick delineates the theological issues inherent in the
Sermon on the Mount and presents a homiletical strategy for
preaching its meaning and relevance. In Part One, Buttrick gives a
general overview of the text and raises central theological issues
imperative to its preaching, particularly the authenticity of
Jesus' words and the sermon's relevance for today. In Part Two, he
offers his commentary on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, provides
suggestions for preaching, and includes some of his own sermons as
examples.
David Buttrick provides an introduction to the parables with a
discussion of particular homiletical issues preachers face in
interpreting parables. "Speaking Parables" includes commentary on
thirty-three different parables with suggestions for preaching each
one.
The image of the kingdom of God has all but disappeared in
preaching today. Here, David Buttrick critiques the state of the
church, society, and preaching today and discusses Old and New
Testament understandings of the rule of God, the presence of the
kingdom, and the tensions between kingdom and church.
In "A Captive Voice," David Buttrick encourages pastors to look
afresh at the Bible, church, culture, and Christian identity in
order to answer the question of how to preach. Buttrick examines
the renewal of ecclesiology in the mid-twentieth century, a time
when the high-hung pulpits were scaled down as preaching came to be
seen as a conversation among friends in Christ. While this was a
positive development, Buttrick argues that preaching must now
become the articulation of our common faith, a speaking from the
Spirit we all possess.
Buttrick presents a complete homiletic that focuses on how sermons
form in consciousness and how the language of preaching functions
in the communal consciousness of a congregation. His
"phenomenological" approach marks a sharp departure from older
homiletics.
