“We come to know God through His story, through His wonderful works in the history of salvation” (Sacrosanctum concilium, 35.2). Effective preachers do more than retell this story—they make informed imaginative connections that help contemporary listeners engage with these ancient texts. In Preaching the Light of the Word: Enlivening the Scriptural Imagination, scholars and experienced preachers share their wisdom on how Scripture shapes and inspires preaching.
Featuring contributions from Fr. J. Michael Joncas, Rita Ferrone, Fr. Donald Senior, cp, Ann Garrido, Thomas Long, Sr. M. Catherine Hilkert, op, Fr. Jude Siciliano,op, and Michael E. Connors,csc, this imaginative collection of essays will challenge the reader to discover:
- How preachers are to understand revelation and the divine inspiration of the scriptural texts.
- Sound approaches to biblical interpretation.
- How to bridge the chasm of years to find meaning for today in these ancient texts.
- An understanding of scripturally based preaching.
- How the biblical text informs and inspires preaching and can lead the assembly into a deeper relationship with God.
