Welcome

Engaging the Paradigmatic Creation Narratives
October 24 - 26, 2011

The annual Preaching Workshop proposes that we allow the worlds envisioned in the essential biblical narratives to dramatically shape our preaching and lives. We believe that preaching reconstitutes biblical paradigms when it engages Scripture’s vision by representing what is absent and making present what is inaccessible to the end that followers of God will live into a God-shaped reality.

With a vision deeply rooted in biblical studies and a homiletic that seeks to live in the world Scripture envisions, this year we ask: What constitutes effective preaching from the creation narratives in Scripture?
