John W. Wright presents a new model of preaching that aims to connect the biblical text with a congregation so that they are formed into a true Christian community. Such formation calls for interpretative engagement with both the biblical narrative and the cultural narrative that shapes our society. Wright critically surveys current theories of preaching and the variety of hermeneutical practices, providing clear guidance and practical direction for faithful preaching.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>John Wright very clearly exposes both the prevalence and dangers of the split between 'personal salvation' and 'mission of the nation-state' preaching in North American culture and calls us instead to the kind of preaching that will immerse our listeners in God's larger story. His many helpful insights into such topics as a 'homiletic of turning, ' comedic versus tragic moves, therapeutic and managerial functions, and elements of congregational contexts will positively affect your preaching and pastoral care. This is a significantly constructive book!</p>--Dr. Marva J. Dawn, theologian, author, educator with Christians Equipped for Ministry, and Teaching Fellow in Spiritual Theology at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia<br><br><p>The author takes a look at the western style of preaching through historical, cultural and theological lenses and demonstrates how our way of 'doing' church contradicts the biblical model. . . . Pastors and evangelists will find this book helpful for making midcourse adjustments to their styles. Seminary students also will find it a vital tool for shaping their emerging approaches to homiletics.</p>--John Michael De Marco, Ministry Today, May/June 2007<br><br><p>This book has whetted my historical curiosity. It has confirmed my commitment to expository preaching of the whole counsel of God built not on a theological system but on an understanding of the text of Scripture itself. It has also given some valuable models to help make me a more effective preacher.</p>--SharperIron (sharperiron.org), September 6, 2007<br>
