Preaching like Paul : homiletical wisdom for today / James W. Thompson. - 1st ed. - Louisville, Ky. : Westminster John Knox Press, c2001. - xi, 177 p. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Introduction : the Pauline gospel in a post-Christian culture. Paul as the model for preaching --
Paul's evangelistic and pastoral preaching --
The shape of Paul's preaching --
What is pastoral preaching? --
Explaining ourselves: preaching and theology --
Preaching as remembering --
Conclusion: reflections on Paul and the preaching ministry. Appendix: preaching Paul's sermons after him.
In contrast with the widely popular interest in narrative styles, James Thompson shows that Paul's letters offer a different model for preaching today. He demonstrates how the manner of preaching used in the pre-Christian culture of Paul is valid and effective in our contemporary post-Christian culture. Unlike most books on preaching, this volume focuses not on technique, but on the goal of preaching--a needed missing component in the contemporary holimetic discussion.
