This is an amazingly powerful reproduction of Brueggemann's 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale University. Fredrick Buechner's book is similarly engaging, but not so out-and-out powerful. Built strongly on OT prophetic texts, it demands much both of preacher & listener, and looks at the modern social condition with a cold, yet compassionate, eye--law and gospel both needed and given. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Christian gospel, says Brueggemann, is too easily preached and heard. Too often technical reason and excessive religious certitude reduce the gospel to coercive, debilitating pietisms that mask the text's meaning and freeze the hearers heart. With skill and imagination, Brueggemann demonstrates how the preacher can engage in daring speechdifferently voiced and therefore differently heard. This speech, as suggested by the Bible itself, is "poetic" speech, enabling the preacher to forge communion in the midst of alienation, bring healing out of guilt, and empower the hearer for "missional imagination." As an alternative to theological/homiletical discourse that is moralistic, pietistic or scholastic, Brueggemann proposes preaching that is artistic, poetic, and dramatic. The basis for the 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Finally Comes the Poet is a unique and transforming guide for powerful preaching.

Brueggemann doesn't just point at the ways that the Bible speaks to our culture today, He also looks incisively at the many false roads in our culture. OUr numbness and ache, our vacillation between the poles of alienation and rage, our restlessness and greed, and our resistance. In each case, he examines a range of passages from the Bible (from Torah, Prophets and Writings) and shows us how God breaks through our modern cultural malaise and alerts us that an alternative way is possible.
This book came from the 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures on preaching at Yale Divinity School. Many 'preaching books' get bogged down in exegetical details or homiletic craft. If you ever read or heard Brueggemann you know that he is a perceptive reader of texts and cares about craft. But I value this book more for inspiration than implementation. ( )
