Preaching Through Time: Anachronism as a Way Forward for Preaching

Casey C Barton

4.9/5 (33860 ratings)

Description:As preachers who come to the pulpit, before God and before God's people, each and every week, how do we make sense of the text as we live a new moment of its ongoing story? Most options available to the preacher necessitate a hermeneutical step that requires us to preach outside of time in timeless truths, experiences, or realities. But the gospel is the drama of God appearing to and working with and loving God's people in time. Preaching Through Time gives the preacher a timely homiletic for preaching together the times of God's gospel, then and now, while calling God's people to perform their own roles in today's moment of that gospel drama. Anachronism, preaching together the moments of God's drama, is the language event that will get us from text to timely sermon, week by week. "In this significant book, Casey Barton demonstrates that in the sermon, the preacher arcs the ancient Scriptures with the life of the twenty-first-century listener in a way that reflects the eternal drama of God. God's story becomes their story into which they enter and understand what it means to embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ and follow Him." --Scott M. Gibson, DPhil, Haddon W. Robinson Professor of Preaching and Ministry, Director of the Haddon W. Robinson Center for Preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "Preaching happens in time, across time, and beyond time. We preach to connect time-bound creatures with a God who exists outside of time. How we understand this connection between the ancient and the contemporary, the objective and the subjective is one of the least understood and most poorly considered aspects of the homiletic task. I am grateful that Casey Barton has been fearless enough to engage the challenge of these questions. This book will challenge you to think in directions you might not have taken time to consider. Your preaching will be better for it." --Kenton C. Anderson, President, Northwest Baptist Seminary; Professor of Homiletics, ACTS Seminaries of Trinity Western University; author of Integrative Preaching and Choosing to Preach "Preaching Through Time draws together the best recent work in biblical, theological, and homiletic studies and makes an entirely sensible proposal for what should come next. Barton's carefully argued practical theology insists that 'a purposeful eschatology reasserts time as essential for preaching.' Luke and Paul 'preached' this way, bringing past and future together in the present and inspiring preachers throughout Christian history. Now, drawing from Wright's and Vanhoozer's analogies with drama, Barton shows us how to invite listeners into God's story as it unfolds in time. His clear vision bears reading and rereading so we can recover what has been neglected and imagine new possibilities." --Paul Koptak, Professor Emeritus, Communication and Biblical Interpretation, North Park Theological Seminary Casey C. Barton is Ordained to Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Covenant Church, and preaches every Sunday at Hilmar Covenant Church in California. He earned a BA in pastoral ministry from Briercrest College; an MDiv and a ThM in preaching from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary; an MTh in Christian ethics and practical theology from New College, University of Edinburgh; and a PhD in Homiletics at Emmanuel College, Toronto School of Theology, University of Toronto.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
