Delivering the Word : Preaching and Exegesis in the Western Christian Tradition Hardback
by William John Lyons, Isabella Sandwell
Part of the BibleWorld series
Hardback
- Information
Description
Biblical texts have been used consistently in sermons throughout Christian history.
Preachers have transformed the texts into an aural experience, using them to evangelize, educate, edify, exhort, or even terrify, their audiences.
Sermons have enabled Scripture to be communicated to people from a wide range of social backgrounds. 'Delivering the Word' examines the power of preaching and its reception across two millennia of homilies: from St Paul, Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine and Hildegard of Bingen to Jonathan Edwards, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Aimee Semple McPherson, and Chris Brain.
In its exploration of the impact of the sermon on the interpretation of Scripture, 'Delivering the Word' will be of interest to students of biblical and religious studies.
