Identity Formation, Story-Telling, and a New Paradigm for Preaching
Course Description
One of the greatest challenges facing Christians today is an identity crisis: who are we, where have we come from, and where are we going? Students will have the opportunity to explore how narrative is key to identity formation, and that the essence of preaching is not "performative" but "formative" and "participative." In a 21st century world, there is a new standard of excellence: not the quality of the performance, but the quality of the participation. Shows how to transition the homiletic method from an inductive or deductive approach to a transductive one.
