Summary: "What is a missional homiletic? If the church in the West now lives in a post-Christian context, how should preaching look different? There is plenty of discussion about missional theology, missional leadership and missional church planting. What about missional preaching? In the Mission of Preaching, Patrick Johnson marshals the latest resources in homiletical theory and missional theology to develop the first missional homiletic, a model for preaching determined by the missionary encounter between the gospel and Western culture. Preaching, he argues, is a form of the church's witness to Jesus Christ that equips the congregation for its witness to the world." -- back cover
The preacher as witness -- The witness of the Christian community -- The witness of missional congregations -- A missional homiletic of witness.
