Description: It is tempting for preachers in this age to offer quick sound bites and PowerPoint-style presentations, which tend to invite a yes or no response. But if we are to reach Christians across the theological spectrum and invite non-Christians to seriously consider our faith, we must take a different approach. Sermons can no longer always be neatly tied up, perfectly linear, with complete answers to every question. In Preaching as Poetry, Paul Scott Wilson teaches why this new approach is necessary and demonstrates how it works in real sermons. He skillfully guides the reader to incorporate the classical values of beauty, goodness, and truth in every sermon in ways that connect with listeners today. (back cover).
