Top Highlights
“These two key elements—the rejection of so called deductive, propositional preaching in favor of a narrative structure and the goal of preaching being that of evocation of an experience in the listener—form the twin pillars of the New Homiletic.” (Volume 5, Number 2, Page 64)
“One reason that Satan attacks believers is to weaken their testimony in life and word. When believers fail under spiritual attack, the witness of God’s people is hindered.” (Volume 5, Number 1, Page 31)
“Subjectivism comes in two brands: healthy and unhealthy. Healthy subjectivity recognizes that total objectivity is impossible. Evangelicals long before Bultmann believed that exegesis without presuppositions was impossible, though one would not imagine that evangelicals could entertain such a notion from reading their non-evangelical counterparts on the subject.” (Volume 5, Number 2, Page 68)
“We overcome the enemy when we focus on God, understand who we are in Christ, live in holiness and unity, and build godly relationships. As evangelists, we share the gospel most effectively when our lives are pure and when fellow believers are praying for us. Basic, simple, faithful Christian obedience dislodges the enemy.” (Volume 5, Number 1, Page 39)
“Postmodernism holds to the premise that truth is a ‘social construct’ and ‘truth’ is whatever your colleagues let you get by with.4 If that is the case, then postmodern thought is also just another social construct and has neither universal nor normative force.” (Volume 5, Number 2, Page 46)
