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.

Download or read book Sacred Rhetoric written by Michael Pasquarello III and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern approaches to preaching today are largely fixated on "how-to's"--how to make preaching more relevant, more interesting, more entertaining. Michael Pasquarello suggests that this fixation may stem from a preaching imagination more beholden to technical, scientific reason than theological wisdom. Rather than devising new techniques or strategies for effective speaking, Pasquarello offers something more salutary--portraits of ten exemplary preachers from the Christian tradition. Included in Pasquarello's gallery are Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great, Benedict, Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, Erasmus, Hugh Latimer, Martin Luther, and John Calvin. These excellent preachers conceived of Christian speech as a unique theological practice learned through prayerful attention to the Bible and aimed at communion with God. Sacred Rhetoric invites readers to join an extended conversation with the past in order to become faithful preachers of the gospel in a post-Christian society. Preachers, seminarians, and students of Christian history will find much to learn from Pasquarello's fresh perspective and passion for the past.

Download or read book Sacred Rhetoric written by Pasquarello and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 2005-11-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of today’s preaching is fixated on “how-tos” — how to make preaching more relevant, more interesting, more fun. Michael Pasquarello suggests that this fixation may stem from a preaching imagination more beholden to technical, scientific reason than theological wisdom. In place of reasonable new techniques or strategies for effective speaking, Pasquarello offers something more salutary — exemplars of preaching from the Christian tradition. From Augustine to Calvin, these preachers conceived of Christian speech as a theological practice learned through prayerful attention to the Bible and aimed at communion with God. Sacred Rhetoric is an invitation to join an extended conversation with the past in order to become faithful preachers of the gospel in a post-Christian society. Preachers, seminarians, and students of Christian history will find much to learn from Pasquarello’s fresh perspective and passion for the past.

Download or read book Teaching Preaching written by Katie Geneva Cannon and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2007-10-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you ain't got no proposition, you ain't got no sermon neither." This was the battle cry of Isaac Rufus Clark, one of the most influential and colorful professors of homiletics in the black church in the twentieth century. Clark taught at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta for twenty-seven years (1962-1989). In Teaching Preaching, Katie Cannon, one of Clark's myriad preaching protégés, conceives her role as purely "presentational": "to bring Clark face to face with a reading audience, allow him to explain the formal elements of preaching from the inside out." Teaching Preaching is an invaluable resource for ministers who struggle from Sunday to Sunday to find their ethical voice in the preparation of each and every sermon.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sacred Rhetoric: Or, the Art of Rhetoric as Applied to the Preaching of the Word of God A priest should for every reason be an educated man; and, bound as he is by his Ministry to teach and preach, Rhetoric forms an essential part of his education. As in the Old Law, so also in the New, "The lips of the Priest shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth, because he is the Angel of the Lord of Hosts" (Mai ii.7). Like other arts, Rhetoric aims at perfection within its own sphere, but, like them too, it adapts itself to the capacity of the learner, and the use he may have to make of it. Hence, in learning Rhetoric the student is to take account of his own capacity in the first place, and then keep constantly in view the occasions he may have for exercising, and displaying, the proficiency he will have attained. Religion, it must be said, furnishes the most elevated subjects for the application of Rhetoric, and the Christian pulpit has presented to public admiration, in every age, its Preachers, as amongst the most distinguished orators of their day.
