Description
When preaching on biblical poetry, preachers often rely upon explanation. They take the vivid images of the poetry and the variety of experiences it offers and reduce them to a teaching to be proclaimed. What would happen if preachers approached biblical poetry as something to be experienced in the sermon rather than only explained? This sectional will present a case study of preaching on a psalm. Participants will explore what it means to read and to preach biblical poetry as a spiritually formative drama of the imagination.
