The call of Deep Church is not just for theologians and church
leaders; it is also about each individual Christian experiencing
and knowing that Jesus rescues from the depths and changes them
deeply In this book Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing explore the concept of
Deep Church in a 21st-century context. They argue that a missionary
congregation needs to be deeply evangelical and evangelistic,
deeply reliant on the power of the Holy Spirit, deeply engaged with
its surrounding culture and community, deeply realistic about its
limitations and temptations, and deeply convinced of its faith, in
the face of all other worldviews and alternatives. Deep Church is
about restoring the heart of the Christian faith within a rapidly
changing and demanding culture, without lurching from one new
methodology to another, rescuing today's church from unnecessary
disillusionment, and wholeheartedly embracing Christ and his
Kingdom.
Formulaic phraseology presents the epitome of words worn and
weathered by trial and the tests of time. Scholarship on weathered
words is exceptionally diverse and interdisciplinary. This volume
focuses on verbal art, which makes Oral-Formulaic Theory (OFT) a
major point of reference. Yet weathered words are but a part of
OFT, and OFT is only a part of scholarship on weathered words. Each
of the eighteen essays gathered here brings particular aspects of
formulaic language into focus. No volume on such a diverse topic
can be all-encompassing, but the essays highlight aspects of the
phenomenon that may be eclipsed elsewhere: they diverge not only in
style, but sometimes even in how they choose to define "formula."
As such, they offer overlapping frames that complement one another
both in their convergences and their contrasts. While they view
formulaicity from multifarious angles, they unite in a Picasso of
perspectives on which the reader can reflect and draw insight.
