Reverberation
January 25, 2011Jonathan Leeman on his new book on Preaching: Reverberation – How God’s Word Brings Hope, Freedom and Action to God’s People.
“Reverberation explains the pulpit ministry and traces the theme of how the Word continues through the life of the church. Both theological and practical, Reverberation focuses on how the church hears, responds, discusses, implements and is transformed by the Word. No high-octane production, superstar personalities, or postmodern entreaties, just stuff that is really old, really good, and really powerful!”
Preview the book.
I haven’t read the book, and the premise seems interesting. I would be curious to know how he contrasts what he describes about the “Word” working its way through the body of Christ to secular sources of inspiration. For instance, when people go to a Tony Robbins seminar or a John Gray conference, what he describes happens there as well. “What did you think of the message? How does it apply to your life?” Etc. I would like to see his take on the theological uniqueness and supernatural nature of the Word as it “reverberates.”
