Download or read book Preaching to a TV Generation written by Michael Rogness and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Rogness has put his finger on a serious homiletical problem -- people accustomed to being fed a video diet are having difficulty digesting the verbal food we preachers set before them each week. Readers will be relieved that Professor Rogness not only identifies problems, but offers some tantalizing recipes to help us in our task. William R. White Author of Stories For Telling Madison, Wisconsin The crisis of preaching is that we face an audience accustomed to new forms of communication. The way people listen is shaped mostly by today's most dominant medium -- television. And yet we preach about the same as preachers did before the arrival of television. It isn't working very well. (from the foreword) The gospel has always been conveyed primarily by speaking it to people. The problem is that in today's world of television people listen and hear differently than they listened and heard in the past. "When preachers understand the dynamics of this new world, then the gospel can ring with new vigor and life in our preaching," writes the author. Preaching To A TV Generation explores the changes brought to our society by television. It suggests what preachers can do in the face of these changes -- in terms of language, structure, creativity and delivery. Michael Rogness, St. Paul, Minnesota, is a professor at Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary. He is a former Fulbright Scholar and holds a doctorate in theology from Erlangen/Nurnberg University, Germany. For 15 years he was senior pastor of First Lutheran Church, Duluth, Minnesota. He is the author of many books and articles. His sermons have appeared in a number of Augsburg Sermons Series.
Download or read book Privilege the Text written by Abraham Kuruvilla and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privilege the Text! spans the conceptual gap between biblical text and life application by providing a rigorous theological hermeneutic for preaching. Kuruvilla describes the theological entity that is the intermediary between ancient text and modern audience, and defines its crucial function in determining valid application. Based on this hermeneutic, he submits a new mode of reading Scripture for preaching: a Christiconic interpretation of the biblical text, a hermeneutically robust way to understand the depiction of the Second Person of the Trinity in Scripture. In addition, Kuruvilla’s work provides a substantive theology of spiritual formation through preaching: what it means to obey God, the Christian’s responsibility to undertake “faith-full” obedience to divine demand, and the incentives for such obedience—all integral to understanding the sermonic movement from text to application. Privilege the Text! promises to be useful not only for preachers, and students and teachers of homiletics, but for all who are interested in the exposition of Scripture that culminates in application for the glory of God.

Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis excelled at plumbing the depths of the human heart, both the good and the bad, the beautiful and the corrupt.

In this book, Rigney explores the center of Lewis's vision for the Christian life—the personal encounter between the human self and the living God. In prayer, in the church, in the imagination, in our natural loves, in our pleasures and our sorrows, God brings us into his presence so that we can become fully human: alive, free, and whole, transformed into the image of Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Speaking God s Words written by Peter Adam and published by Regent College Pub. This book was released on 2004 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books on preaching, but few, if any, on the theology of preaching. Yet, whether it is recognized or not, theology underlies any preaching that claims to be biblical. In Speaking God's Words Peter Adam builds confidence in preaching by laying a firm theological foundation for it. Preaching rests upon three great pillars: God has spoken, his words are now recorded in Scripture and he commissions people "to explain, preach and teach his written words to their contemporaries." Throughout the book, using well-chosen illustrations, Dr Adam encourages preachers to give themselves to the demanding yet thrilling task of "preaching God's words" today.
