Arts and Preaching

""Written by a diverse group of authors from various races, genders, and denominations, this book masterfully blends theory and practice, offering invaluable insights for enriching both sermon preparation and worship. With its intra-dynamic approach, this work serves as an indispensable resource for preachers seeking to elevate their ministry and engage visually and sensitively attuned congregations with creativity and depth."" --Namjoong Kim, Associate Dean of Doctoral Programs and International Relations for Korea, Claremont School of Theology ""This book sparks the preacher's imagination! Each contributor brings Yang's profound homiletical insights from Arts and Preaching to life in this compelling companion volume. Readers will be inspired to set the book down and dive into the sermon worksheets themselves, exploring more aesthetically vibrant and imaginative possibilities for preaching in the twenty-first century."" -Casey Sigmon, Director, Pause/Play Center for Preachers, Saint Paul School of Theology ""This book is wonderful and necessary for all preachers (and listeners) who sense the need for living a truly humane and more beautiful life. These authors all sense the need for both the 'and' in 'Arts and Preaching, ' as well as the hidden-but-profound 'as' in 'Preaching as Art.' The much-needed exploration of the shared core between the arts and preaching comes here to the fore."" --Martin Laubscher, Senior Lecturer in Homiletics and Liturgics, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa ""This helpful handbook serves as a bridge between Sunggu Yang's earlier theoretical work, Arts and Preaching: An Aesthetic Homiletic for the Twenty-first Century, and the everyday practice of preaching. It provides fresh insights and practical resources for preachers seeking to deepen their aesthetic approach to homiletics, offering guidance on how to move beyond familiar patterns and habitual preaching styles."" --Tone Stangeland Kaufman, Professor of Practical Theology, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society
