In A Captive Voice, David Buttrick encourages pastors to look afresh at the Bible, church, culture, and Christian identity in order to answer the question of how to preach. Buttrick examines the renewal of ecclesiology in the mid-twentieth century, a time when the high-hung pulpits were scaled down as preaching came to be seen as a conversation among friends in Christ. While this was a positive development, Buttrick argues that preaching must now become the articulation of our common faith, a speaking from the Spirit we all possess.

Buttrick always good.,

This review is from: A Captive Voice: The Liberation of Preaching (Paperback)
David Buttrick is always good, always enlightening. While this book is perhaps not on the top of my list of Buttrick's writings, it does help to explain, for instance, what he writes about in a fuller way in Homiletic - "moves and structures". In an era when one wonders if they actually teach preaching in the seminaries anymore, Buttrick shines. One wishes to have been his student.
