{"product_id":"the-renewed-homiletic","title":"The Renewed Homiletic","description":"Includes a DVD featuring sermons by each contributor of The Renewed Homiletic. The major shift in the study and practice of preaching in the 1970s and 1980s  labeled the New Homiletic  turned toward the hearer. The purpose of preaching focused less on persuasion and more on transformation  less on asserting religious truths and more on offering an experience of the gospel. Instead of viewing language as referential  its creative  evocative nature began to be emphasized. Thus homiletical strategies utilizing induction  celebration  story  narrative structures  and moves replaced a deductive  propositional approach to preaching.  Now three-and-a-half decades after this shift began  preachers recognize that the homiletical landscape has continued to evolve in ways that influence how preaching ought to be donefor example  the rise of postmodernity  the decline of the mainline church  cultural pluralism  and biblical and theological illiteracy.  Those considered to be the pillars of the New HomileticDavid Buttrick  Fred Craddock  Eugene Lowry  Henry Mitchell  and Charles Ricediscuss how to change their homiletical approach for a new day. Each of these distinguished scholars offers a lecture describing how his mind has changed  preaches a sermon reflecting these changes  and participates in a panel discussion with younger respondents.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895567118389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0800696565","price":226.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0800696565.jpg?v=1767522243","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-renewed-homiletic","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
