Preaching that Shows
SCM Press (Verlag)
978-0-334-06184-7 (ISBN)
Offering a ground-breaking approach as a counter to well-worn preaching strategies, 'Preaching That Shows' explores the ‘revelatory plot’, focused more on the gradual revelation of relevant truths within the biblical text through character and embodied insight, and through imaginative and sensory detail rather than through answering the questions ‘how and ‘why’. It will prove an invaluable resource for students, homileticians and preachers alike.
Margaret Cooling is the author of over forty books. For many years her speciality has been on using the arts to communicate Christianity within the field of education and has done worked with both the National Gallery and the BBC on the topic. She has been a lay preacher for over thirty years, and recently completed a PhD in homiletics at Durham University.
