Publisher's Synopsis
The landscape of sermon preparation shakes with uncertainty every time culture shifts, technology advances, and Christian ministry evolves. All three happen often. Ministers do not know how to incorporate technology or their local church experience into their seminary education. Preparing Sacred Communication is focused on a comprehensive step-by-step process of preparing a sermon which takes into consideration solid academic research, proven practice, and technological advances. This book refines the sermon preparation process for any sacred communicator. This book offers step-by-step sermon preparation in light of changing pressures and new technology. This work brings unique value in that Preparing Sacred Communication considers lectionary and non-lectionary preaching contexts as well as Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant contexts. This work is based on current academic research on the top preaching textbooks used in seminaries and ministers in local congregations from 19 denominations all over the United States.
