Finally comes the Poet: Biblical Poetry as resource in preaching and teaching
Why do the prophets deliver their message in verse? How can one enter the web of image and metaphor so that we can speak a word from God? The poetry of the Old Testament is a rich resource for preaching and teaching. It invites us into an imaginative and creative world where God’s word inspires and recreates us, as well as those we serve. This study will focus on the Psalms and the Prophets, exploring their language and imagery to fire our imaginations for bringing good news.
