These Ancient Words: Preaching so the Bible Can Speak 公开

Abstract

The reality of preaching today is that many - if not most - of our listeners will only encounter the Bible in the preaching moment. Some will come with curiosity, some with skepticism, and some with wounds inflicted by the text. How, then, should we as preachers approach the ancient words of scripture so that they can speak with new life? This paper suggests a framework for preachers that moves beyond biblical preaching and beyond biblical literacy toward a call for preaching from and within the biblical narrative. To do so faithfully requires five tasks of the preacher: to be convicted, to be a teacher, to be a poet, to be a host, and to be a guide who points us toward the way of God.
