Opis

Organic form theory of Romanticism helps writers, artists, and preachers free themselves from potentially limiting norms and rules of form. Organic Homiletic: Samuel T. Coleridge, Henry G. Davis, and the New Homiletic will inspire preachers to express their individual voices and create their own authentic forms by offering preachers innovative methods to creatively imitate, blend, and mix a wide variety of sermon forms. The book is a motivator for preachers to intuitively discover sermon content in the rhetorical context of a given preaching situation, and to develop that content utilizing organic form in the process of sermon preparation. Organic Homiletic is a must-read for seminarians, experienced preachers, creative writers, and artists all those who seek to be fresh, authentic, creative, liberated, and organic."

Recenzje

"'Organic Homiletic' takes up the idea of the organic metaphor in homiletics first proposed by Henry Davis and reconsiders its potential for a generation of clergy shaped by the concerns of postmodernism and the New Homiletic. Park explores the way in which an organic homiletic works as rhetorical event (as process), that assumes an internalized synthesis of existing forms, that is dialogically open to understanding that occurs in the preaching event, that explores the intersection between homiletic intuition and reason, and finally becomes an intuitive negotiation that helps the preacher figure out what to say. When consistently expressed in a ministry of preaching this kind of organic homiletic can aid preachers in the discovery of an authentic voice in preaching. (Robert Stephen Reid, Director, Graduate Program of Communication, University of Dubuque, Author of 'The Four Voices of Preaching')
"Richard Park's Organic Homiletic brings together resources from across the ages and from a diverse array of disciplines to propose an Organic Homiletic. The list of individuals for whom this will serve as a useful tool is just as diverse: preachers, philosophers, Romantic literary critics, homileticians, and more." (Thomas G. Rogers, Professor of Homiletics of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Core Doctoral Faculty of Graduate Theological Union, Author of 'Preaching to Every Pew: Cross-cultural Strategies')
