panel discussion hosted by Scott E. Hoezee, with Ron Rienstra, Laura Truax, and Paul Scott Wilson
Calvin Symposium on Worship 2007
What is the homiletical counterpart to the "Emergent" church movement/conversation? In an increasingly postmodern world-one that resists individual authority, is bored with linear structure, mistrusts language's capacity to convey truth, and is deeply suspicious of meta-narratives-how does the church speak a Word from God? The panel explored some of the current experiments in postmodern proclamation as the church makes its way to finding a culturally authentic "NuHomiletic."
