Contents:
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.
Summary: 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.
