Description:From the very beginning, preaching has been central to the church's understanding of its life and ministry. Does the ministry of preaching have a future and, if so, how must it change if it is to be effective in the formation of the lives of contemporary disciples of Jesus? This is not a book on the subject of homiletics as that enterprise has conventionally been understood. That is, it is not a manual attempting to teach how to preach. Rather, the sermons included are intended to illustrate the conclusions that have been argued for in the early sections. The opening chapters offer an interpretation of the significant shifts that systematic theology has had to engage with in Western culture, culminating in the contemporary legacy of rising atheism in popular culture, and the increasingly widespread disillusionment with religion. The title plays on Friedrich Nietzsche's Parable of the Madman in his doomed search for God, which is used as the lens for viewing the present situation in Western culture, not least in Australia. Barber draws out the implications of this parable for the task of preaching in the third millennium.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
