Preaching Must Die!

Preaching & Worship

“"Writing in a vivid style, Jacob D. Myers challenges homiletics to trouble its fealty to both theology and philosophy, so as to assist preaching in dying a certain death. The preacher’s use of language, self-understanding, and relationship to Scripture and to God must be subjected to radical critique, a critique that frees preaching to bear witness to and make space for the divine and human other. This book sparkles with wit and displays Myers’s broad reading in theology, philosophy, and homiletics, as well as his facility in making links to popular culture and current events. I highly recommend this book to any who want to grapple deeply with the paradox of preaching’s impossibility and its necessity.””
