Book Synopsis The Imperative of Preaching: A Theology of Sacred Rhetoric by : John Carrick
Download or read book The Imperative of Preaching: A Theology of Sacred Rhetoric written by John Carrick and published by Banner of Truth. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing that preaching remains of vital importance today, John Carrick argues that its effectiveness can be greatly enhanced if preachers make use of the patterns of communication laid down by God in Scripture for their instruction. He sees in the Bible a sacred rhetoric which the apostles and prophets, and Christ himself, used to awaken, move and persuade their hearers. While depending on the power of the Spirit, the preacher should not neglect any help which Scripture affords. Sacred rhetoric is based essentially on statements and commands (called in grammar the indicative and the imperative), which, together with exclamations and questions, are of immense significance in the preaching of the Word.
Book Synopsis Rhetoric of the Protestant Sermon in America by : Eric C. Miller
Download or read book Rhetoric of the Protestant Sermon in America written by Eric C. Miller and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rhetoric of the Protestant Sermon in America: Pulpit Discourse at the Turn of the Millennium, ten scholars analyze notable sermons from the fifty-year span between 1965 and 2015, during which the Protestant sermon has undergone significant change in the United States. Contributors examine how this turbulent time period witnessed a variety of important shifts in the arguments, evidences, and rhetorical strategies employed by contemporary preachers. Because religious practice is inextricably tangled in the culture, politics, and economy of its historical situation, the public expression of a faith is certain to move with the times. In their treatment of race, sex, gender, class, and citizenship, sermons apply ancient texts to current events and controversies, often to revealing effect. This collection, thoughtfully edited by Eric C. Miller and Jonathan J. Edwards, demonstrates how the genre of the Protestant sermon has evolved—or resisted evolution—across the years. Scholars of religion, rhetoric, communication, sociology, and cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.
Download or read book Men of One Book written by Ian J Maddock and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposal of this book is to guide the reader to the contrastive ministries of the two most dominant preachers of the eighteen-century evangelical revival. In a wonderful comparative approach the author draws John Wesley and George Whitefield's portraits and explores their life and practice, as well as their relationship. Committed to the principle that the 'whole world was their parish', Wesley and Whitefield manifested their singular desire to be men of one book through preaching ministries that were equally committed to the spread of the gospel throughout the transatlantic world.
Book Synopsis Redemptive-Historical Hermeneutics and Homiletics by : Yung Hoon Hyun
Download or read book Redemptive-Historical Hermeneutics and Homiletics written by Yung Hoon Hyun and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on redemptive historical hermeneutics and homiletics within New Testament theology. This is a valuable legacy of the Reformed tradition, despite differences in interpreting and preaching Bible texts that surfaced in Holland (1920s and 1930s) and the United States (1970s onwards) before influencing Korean Reformed churches. The background, origin, distinctiveness, and development of these theological debates is explored and evaluated before the features of redemptive history in Korea are identified. The influence of Western redemptive-historical scholars on the Korean debate are also analyzed. Here is a major and contemporary contribution to reformed-historical hermeneutics and homiletics that is relevant for Korean Reformed churches, but also for all Reformed churches worldwide.

Download or read book Revival Preaching written by Ernest Eugene Klassen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of his passion to bring glory to God, Ernie Klassen is particularly interested in the revival of God’s people and the awakening of the lost. He believes strongly that God-honoring, Christ-exalting, and Spirit-empowered preaching plays a critical role in revival and awakening. No one models this dynamic better than Jonathan Edwards. He was a pastor who was a protagonist of the First Great Awakening. He thought deeply and critically about religious movements, and his reflections and sermons provide valuable “fodder” for reflection. Revival Preaching extracts the most important lessons of Edwards’s writings and sermons for preaching in today’s world.

Download or read book Pulpit Aflame written by Joel R. Beeke and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul instructed Timothy to preach the word! . . . 'Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching' (2 Tim. 4:2). This instruction is in keeping with the principle reflected in the book of Acts that the proclamation of God's Word is the heart of corporate worship. Yet in many churches, preaching is in decline under the influence of a culture that prefers entertainment to exposition. In this volume, fourteen experienced preachers reaffirm the centrality of preaching in the life of the church as they explore what the Scriptures have to say about the mandate, meaning, motivation, and method of preaching. With wisdom and conviction, the authors remind the church that God works through the faithful preaching of His Word, no less in the twenty-first century than in the first.

Book Synopsis Reverberating Word by : Michael Denham
Download or read book Reverberating Word written by Michael Denham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like sounds of beautiful music, worship can renew us for God's glory and our good by the invigorating power of God's reverberating Word. It is God's story that redeems all our stories. We want to tell it again and again as best we can, clearly conveying its message, meaning, richness, claim, and call. Through its every facet and component, worship that is biblically expositional can heighten how we proclaim God's story, faithfully and creatively pointing to the One who alone offers us true identity, security, and destiny. "If you seek me you will find me, if you search with all your heart," declares the Lord. With the ancient prophets and apostles we must repeat and repeat and repeat the most wonderful truth that God wants to be found. In Christian worship such tremendous and tender encounter is available to us as nowhere else.
Book Synopsis A Philosophy of Pastoral Preaching by : David A. Christensen
Download or read book A Philosophy of Pastoral Preaching written by David A. Christensen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am a pastor. I preach. Doesn't that make me a pastoral preacher?" Not necessarily. Many preach missional rather than pastoral sermons designed to appeal to the unchurched, not the churched. The popularity of regional churches and the global reach of the internet allow preachers to focus their sermons on people they do not know and market a message to an audience they never see. Evangelical leaders produce many resources on attractional preaching, but who is developing a vision for pastoral preaching? David Christensen draws on years of experience to develop a philosophy of pastoral preaching. He writes, "Social media changes the way we preach. More and more pastors are preaching clickbait sermons. These are sermons designed to get clicks or attract interest rather than teach truth. We want catchy titles and clever analogies that will grab people's attention because the digital world is built on attention, whatever will get likes or drive outrage." However, pastoral preaching builds community. It is rooted in local soil to the people we know in the place we live. We need a philosophy of preaching that shepherds a community of disciples who worship together in one place.
Book Synopsis Cultural Contextualization of Apologetics by : Matt W. Lee
Download or read book Cultural Contextualization of Apologetics written by Matt W. Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-Christian world, we find sincere efforts in traditional Christian apologetics repeatedly running into invisible walls. These blocks happen when cultural issues are neglected. With mere rational arguments presented as a defense of Christianity, logical answers alone are not attracting the nonbelievers nor resolving their skepticism. People today have different obstacles in coming to the Christian faith, particularly their own cultural presuppositions. How do we present, defend, and commend Christianity to people whose culture gives them a frame of mind—the one that cares very little about how rational the arguments are? Cultural Contextualization of Apologetics explores the world of the New Testament and the ministry of the apostle Paul to excavate a fresh model for apologetics with cultural engagement to present an answer. Matt W. Lee analyzes the dynamics involved in Paul’s cultural connection with his audience and how it relates to their receptivity, uncovering a scheme of apologetics engagement patterned in his apologetics speeches. From the background of Paul’s world to the forefront of contemporary apologetics preaching, Cultural Contextualization of Apologetics offers a vision of apologetics communication that is both biblical and practical.
