The Renewed Homiletic

Preachers recognize that the homiletical landscape has continued to evolve in ways that influence how preaching ought to be done--e.g., the rise of postmodernity, the decline of the mainline church, cultural pluralism, biblical and theological illiteracy. Those considered to be the pillars of the New Homiletic--David Buttrick, Fred Craddock, Eugene Lowry, Henry Mitchell, and Charles Rice--discuss how to change their homiletical approach for a new day. Each of these distinguished scholars offers lecture describing how their mind has changed, preaches a sermon reflecting these changes, and participate in a panel discussion with younger respondents.
