Book Description
The postliberal, cultural-linguistic theology of the "Vale School" has been one of the most important theological developments in the United States during the latter Twentieth century. In this unique book, which combines theological analysis and homiletical reflection, Charles Campbell examines postliberal theology as it is embodied in the work of Hans Frei and develops the implications of this theological position for the theory and practice of preaching. Arguing that the trouble with homiletics today is fundamentally theological, Campbell offers Frei's theological position as a means for enriching the Christian pulpit and renewing the church.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   Reflections on Preaching, April 1, 2007 By  John D. White "camsterdad" (Cayce, South Carolina United States) - See all my reviews    This is a marvelous book that stimulates much thought about what to do on Sunday morning when you are in the pulpit and all those faces are looking at you hoping for some word from God. Frei, here, in Campbell's telling, is introduced in a marvelous way, perhaps in a more accessible way, than in any other place. Perhaps America's greatest theologian in the latter half of the twentieth century, but sadly little known and barely published, Frei's thought offers much grist for the thinker/ preacher's mill. Campbell's book is worth reading slowly and with great reflection. An outstanding resource for the pastor who wants not just to talk on Sunday morning, in a way that is clearly plageristic given all the resources for preaching these days, but instead to really "reflect" on what it means to speak of God, when we cannot-- and in our own authentic way. My copy is underlined, and highlighted and underlined again and again. Get the book and read it more than once--your preaching will be the better for it.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
