A New Hearing
Preaching is in crisis. Why? Because the traditional, conceptual approach no longer works, says Richard L. Eslinger. It fails to capture the interest of listeners and is not sufficiently Scripture-based. The time has come to listen to new voices, new methods. And that is what A New Hearing provides. Eslinger offers as "living options" the work of five preeminent--though quite different--preachers who represent the "cutting edge" of preaching in the 1980s: Charles Rice and the storytelling method; Henry Mitchell and the black narrative method; Eugene Lowry, who bridges the narrative and inductive methods; Fred Craddock and the inductive method; and David Buttrick, who emphasizes the structure and movement of biblical material. Eslinger devotes an entire section to each preacher. He explicates each man's technique, shows how it differs from the traditional "three points and a poem" approach, and presents one sample sermon from each. Eslinger then critiques these "new homileticians," delineating the strengths and weaknesses of their respective methods.
Pitfalls in Preaching

Narrative & Imagination
Eslinger's book provides a short course on narrative hermeneutics and imagination theory, along with a proposal for integrating the two in preaching.
Preaching to Second Generation Korean Americans
This in-depth study on preaching to second generation Korean Americans, the first of its kind, is based on empirical and ethnographic fieldwork. Matthew D. Kim conducted surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews with Korean American pastors and second generation young adult respondents in three geographic regions of the United States: the Midwest, the West Coast, and the East Coast. His primary conceptual framework employs social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius' theory of possible selves to facilitate the process of congregational exegesis in the second generation Korean American church context. This book offers a new contextual homiletic model that enables Korean Americ...
Intersections
Prominent homileticians and biblical scholars working in various post-critical contexts develop here fresh models of biblical interpretation and explore their implications for preaching. Intersections features state-of-the-art reflections on hermeneutics and concrete suggestions for the renewal of homiletics. Scholars and preachers will find here challenging perspectives on the traditional historical-critical model of interpretation and on topical preaching as well as provocative glimpses at the new post-liberal, post-critical world of biblical interpretation and the ministry of preaching.
