description: "This volume is the outcome of the work of six members of the Narrative and Imagination working group of the Academy of Homiletics. . . . "We hope that this volume will encourage those who have not tried narrative preaching to do so, especially since we present a variety of models of how to do narrative preaching and show how each of us moved toward the particular model we present. We also hope that this volume will contribute to the development of the discipline of narrative preaching. . . . When done well, narrative preaching has the power to effect the kind of transformation in people's lives which we all hope for when we as vehicles attempt to communicate the good news. "This is so in part because narrative preaching both reflects and impacts on the narrative quality of life as we live it. We recognize ourselves in narratives, and we can imagine ourselves changed through narrative in a way that does not often happen through other means of preaching. -- from the Introduction Robert G.
