Homiletic: Moves and Structures

by David Buttrick

Overview

Buttrick presents a complete homiletic that focuses on how sermons form in consciousness and how the language of preaching functions in the communal consciousness of a congregation. His "phenomenological" approach marks a sharp departure from older homiletics.

Editorial Reviews

"Everything about this book suggests that it is a most serious, most ambitious, most scholarly approach. Even the bibliographies make good reading. It's too good a book to limit only to people who preach." --Martin E. Marty, Fairfax M. Cone Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of the History of Modern Christianity at The University of Chicago

"Here is the major book on the theory and construction of sermons for the 20th century. Sweeping claim! This is the most thorough discussion of our time." --Donald K. McKim, former Academic Dean and Professor of Theology at Memphis Theological Seminary
