Pregar como poesia: como proclamar a beleza, bondade e a verdade do evangelho

Rate this book
É tentador para os pregadores desta era oferecer sermões perfeitamente lineares, com frases de efeito e perguntas simplistas, que nos incitam a responder sim ou não, como numa equação matemática. Contudo, se desejamos alcançar cristãos de todo o espectro teológico e convidar não cristãos a considerar seriamente nossa fé, devemos usar uma abordagem que seja capaz de comunicar a beleza da fé cristã e o assombro diante dos mistérios de Deus. Ou seja, precisamos de sermões teopoéticos .
Em Pregar como poesia, Paul Scott Wilson argumenta que a imaginação é essencial para a arte de pregar. De forma prática, ele mostra ao leitor como integrar a poesia e os símbolos imagéticos no preparo de uma mensagem e, assim, incorporar os valores clássicos de beleza, bondade e verdade em cada sermão, de forma a se conectar com os ouvintes de hoje.

Paul Scott Wilson imagined a paradigmatic shift in preaching to reflect cultural changes caused by postmodernism. His book is not about use of poetry in preaching, but about imagining preaching in a way that communicates beauty, goodness and truth without argumentation or reliance on destruction of straw man opponents. He built his book around Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost. For preaching as poetry, the incarnation and resurrection of Christ plus the presence and work of the spirit are key. His section on civil discourse in the context of worship was perhaps the least satisfactory to me; I thought that he segued into "cafeteria religion" and did not fully explain how to preach about polarizing topics while encouraging civil discourse within the church and community. Nevertheless I thoroughly recommend reading and carefully considering Wilson's insights on how preachers may more effectively communicate in a postmodern context.

Door de opkomst van de moderniteit is er veel veranderd in maatschappij, kerk en theologie. Volgens Wilson is de postmoderniteit niet alleen een bedreiging van de kerk, maar kan de postmoderniteit ook een bondgenoot zijn. Via theopoetry wil hij laten zien hoe het handelen van God in de verkondiging meer aan de orde kan komen. Theopoetry werkt hij uit aan de hand van de klassieke idealen schoonheid, goedheid en waarheid. Hij laat zien welke betekenisverandering deze idealen hebben ondergaan in de postmoderniteit. Ook laat hij zien wat die consequenties en de uitdagingen van die veranderingen zijn voor de verkondiging.
