The Scandal of Having Something to Say: Ricoeur and the Possibility of Postliberal Preaching

Autor Lance B. Pape
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 ian 2013
The Christian sermon--once the chief symbol of authority in Western culture--often appears in the postmodern imagination as synonymous with irrelevancy, biased judgment, and a rejection of absolute truth. While Christian preachers mourn the cultural disintegration of their hallowed practice, Lance B. Pape believes this modern turn enables the preacher to rediscover the sermon. Proclaiming the gospel, he contends, lies not in the cultural acceptance of the message but in God's free act of self-communication. Using Karl Barth's theology of the Word, Hans Frei's hermeneutical method, and, chiefly, Paul Ricoeur's theory of narrative as threefold mimesis, Pape develops a homiletic that recaptures the scandalous intent of the gospel. The Scandal of Having Something to Say then casts the post-liberal preacher as a "surrogate reader" of the biblical text on behalf of the congregation and opens new avenues for practice through the analysis and critique of two sermons.

Recenzii

" The Scandal of Having Something to Say is a tour de force . Pape not only provides a clear and compelling analysis of Ricoeur's narrative hermeneutics, but releases its power for biblical preaching. Pape develops an approach to preaching that gives the preacher something urgent to say across a lifetime of preaching." --Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor of Preaching, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
"Pape makes creative use of Ricoeur's threefold understanding of textual mimesis. The Scandal of Having Something to Say is an indispensable contribution to the ongoing scholarly conversation about postliberal homiletics." --John S. McClure, Charles G. Finney Professor of Preaching and Worship, Vanderbilt Divinity School
...those who choose to think with Pape will learn much from his skillful elucidation. -- Aaron Klink, Duke University -- Religious Studies Review
