Overview
The postliberal, cultural-linguistic theology of the "Vale School" has been one of the most important theological developments in the United States during the latter Twentieth century. In this unique book, which combines theological analysis and homiletical reflection, Charles Campbell examines postliberal theology as it is embodied in the work of Hans Frei and develops the implications of this theological position for the theory and practice of preaching. Arguing that the trouble with homiletics today is fundamentally theological, Campbell offers Frei's theological position as a means for enriching the Christian pulpit and renewing the church.Editorials
Dialog
An important, insightful, practical book.Interpretation
This book is a profound gift to preachers who yearn to look beyond technique, form, and method to engage the church and the society in the language and practices of scripture, worship, and discipleship. It also serves as a splendid introduction to Frei's theology.Journal for Preachers
Preaching Jesus is the sort of book that is needed today in homiletics. It demonstrates a clear understanding of the biblical, social, ecclesial, and theological issues surrounding contemporary preaching and goes a long way toward developing a homiletic that will meet this context with integrity and transforming power.Theology (U.K.)
We do not often come upon books that engage as deeply with the subject of preaching as this volume by Charles Campbell.Book Details
