Dialogical Preaching: Bakhtin, Otherness and Homiletics

As material for this investigation the book provides analyses of four theologians who have contributed significantly to contemporary homiletical developments, namely those of the American homileticians Charles Campbell, John S. McClure, and James H. Harris and the Danish Systematic Theologian, Svend Bjerg.The homiletical analyses lead to the thesis, that the dialogical encounter between author, and addressees, analyzer and analyzed, is one of the conditions of interpretation and communication rather than a disturbance. The communication theoretical and practical theological analyses are discussed in light of Kierkegaard`s, Barth`s and Jüngel's emphasis on the 'qualitative difference' between God and humans. 199 Seiten, broschiert (Arbeiten zur Pastoraltheologie, Liturgik und Hymnologie; Vol. 74/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2014) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
