Preaching In A Post-literate Age
I have sought to lay out for you the kind of paradigm shift that I think is necessary for preaching in this post-literate age. That paradigm shift is a shift from "thinking in ideas" in terms of sermon preparation to "thinking in story." Now we must put the nuts and bolts together. How are sermons constructed when we think in story? How are sermons conducted when we understand that many of the characteristics of preaching in an oral culture might be relevant in today's electronic environment? The task of this chapter is to examine these questions.
