"This volume takes a unique approach by examining the role of performance in preaching. The contributors bring a variety of theological and denominational perspectives to the subject, but they are united in their concern for the importance of the performance of the sermon - not in a shallow or theatrical sense but as an essential aspect of bringing God's word to life for the congregation. To that end, these wide-ranging studies examine theological, artistic, and musical aspects of a compelling performance."--Back cover |
