Book Synopsis Homiletical Theology by : David Schnasa Jacobsen
Download or read book Homiletical Theology written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Barth famously argued that all theology is sermon preparation. But what if all sermon preparation is actually theology? This book pursues a thoroughgoing theological vision for the practice of preaching as a way of doing theology. The idea is not just that homiletics is the realm of theological application. That would leave preaching in the position of simply implementing a theology already arrived at. Instead, the vision in these pages is of a form of theology that begins with preaching itself: its practice, its theories, and its contexts. Homiletical theology is thus a unique way of doing theology--even a constructive theological task in its own right. Homiletician David Schnasa Jacobsen has assembled several of the leading lights of contemporary homiletics to help to see its task ever more deeply as theological, yet in profoundly diverse ways. Along the way, readers will not only discover how homileticians do theology homiletically, but will deepen the way in which they understand their own preaching as a theological task.
Book Synopsis Homiletical Theology in Action by : David Schnasa Jacobsen
Download or read book Homiletical Theology in Action written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homiletics is taking a theological turn. But what does the preaching task look like if we think of it not so much as a mastery of technique, but an exercise in theological method? Homiletical Theology in Action: The Unfinished Theological Task of Preaching tries to envision the work of homiletics as theological in root and branch. By placing theological questions at the center of the process, the authors, some of the leading lights of the field of homiletics, try to show how their work as preachers and homileticians is a thoroughgoing theological activity. By beginning with troublesome texts and problematic doctrines, they seek to show how preachers and homileticians engage in theology, not as consumers, but as producers--and in the thick of the kinds of questions that preachers have to ask. Practitioners and theological educators alike will catch a glimpse of how they too are residential theologians in their own preaching praxis.
Book Synopsis Theologies of the Gospel in Context by : David Schnasa Jacobsen
Download or read book Theologies of the Gospel in Context written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many preachers and teachers of preaching talk about the gospel; few name it. Theologies of the Gospel in Context assembles a gifted group of homileticians who think that preachers need to be able to articulate the gospel not "in general," but in a certain time and place, in context. They consider what gospel sounds like for people under oppression, in capitalist economies, in neocolonial contexts, for survivors of trauma, and for disestablished mainline churches marred by racism. Preachers will appreciate these preacher/scholars' desire to articulate the gospel with clarity, especially since the term is so often left unexplained. Homileticians will see a new genre of doing their work as teachers and researchers in preaching: a vision that helps preaching see itself not just as an adjunct to exegesis or communication, but a place of doing theology. In these pages homiletics is more than technique, it is a truly theological discipline.

Book Synopsis Toward a Homiletical Theology of Promise by : David Schnasa Jacobsen
Download or read book Toward a Homiletical Theology of Promise written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Promise has a long pedigree in the history of Christian understandings of the gospel. This volume gathers together leading homileticians to consider the breadth of its understanding today in light of the struggle to reconcile God's grace with God's justice. Assuming that promise is a core sense of the gospel, how does this relate to the variety of contexts in which homiletical theology is done? In this final volume in the series, six homileticians from a variety of contexts and perspectives try to move specifically toward a homiletical theology of promise as a way to articulate the central theological gift and task that is preaching the gospel today.
Book Synopsis Preaching Must Die! by : Jacob D. Myers
Download or read book Preaching Must Die! written by Jacob D. Myers and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real question for homiletics in our increasingly postmodern, post-Christian contexts is not how we are going to prevent preaching from dying, but how we are going to help it die a good death. Preaching was not made to live. At most, preaching is a witness, a sign, a crimson X marking a demolition site. The church has developed sophisticated technologies in modernity to give preaching the semblance of life, belying the truth: preaching was born under a death sentence. It was born to die. Only when preaching embraces its own death is it able to live. This book, then, is a bold homiletical manifesto against preaching in support of preaching, and beyond preaching to the entire worship experience. It troubles modern homiletical theologies in light of the trouble always already at work within preaching. Hereby, it supports a way of preaching--and teaching preaching--that moves counter to the "wisdom of this world." It aims to joins in God‘s self-revealed counterlogic of superabundance that saturates and thereby breaks open worldly systems of thought and practice. The purpose of this book is to expose preaching to its own death-to help it embrace its death-so that it can discover what eternal and abundant life might look and feels like.

Additionally, they endeavor to introduce exposition, homiletics, and theology as tools for the life of the minister to preach Gods Word with power, boldness, and conviction to change lives; and as called messengers of God, they should be enabled to learn, deliver, and master the art of preaching and teaching.

Book Synopsis Teaching Preaching as a Christian Practice by : Thomas G. Long
Download or read book Teaching Preaching as a Christian Practice written by Thomas G. Long and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preachings most able practitioners gather in this book to explore and explain the idea that preaching is a practice that can be taught and learned. Arguing that preaching is a living practice with a long tradition, an identifiable shape, and a broad set of norms and desired outcomes, these noted scholars propose that teachers initiate students into the larger practice of preaching, in ways somewhat like other students are initiated into the practice of medicine or law. The book concludes with designs for a basic preaching course and addresses the question of how preaching courses fit into the larger patterns of seminary curricula.
