Time
Ten Tuesdays at 13:15-16:00
First day: September 2nd 2014
Last day: November 18th 2014
Subject
The act of preaching is a highly situated, embodied practice.
Crucial to the genre, however, is the ability to interpret ancient
texts of foreign cultures and languages while addressing people in
their particular contexts. This tension places preachers and
congregations in liminal borderlands between the foreign and
familiar, the other and the self. During the course we
will study the genre of preaching with special attention to the
impact of situatedness, liminality, otherness, dialogue and
laughter. The primary reading will be Preaching Fools: The
Gospel as a Rhetoric of Folly written in collaboration
between the North-American and South-African theologians, Charles
Campbell and Johan Cilliers.
Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures, guided reflection on pre-session readings, group discussions, and student presentations. The course is taught in English.
Aim
The course aims to help students reflect theoretically on the theology and genre of preaching with special emphasis on the tension between contextual situatedness and liminality.
