{"product_id":"power-in-preaching","title":"Power in Preaching","description":"To preach the Word of God boringly, lifelessly or indifferently is a travesty of biblical preaching. Contemporary preaching appears powerless because the preacher is \u003ci\u003eunctionless\u003c\/i\u003e. For preaching to \u003ci\u003etransform\u003c\/i\u003e lives and not merely to \u003ci\u003etransmit\u003c\/i\u003e knowledge, preachers need the unction of the Holy Spirit. In \u003ci\u003ePower in Preaching\u003c\/i\u003e, Johnson Lim examines the idea that a sermon powered by logic and rhetoric and accompanied by erudition and eloquence can be inspiring and interesting; but only a sermon powered by the Spirit is life transforming. Lim also explores the authority of a preacher, axioms of preaching, hermeneutical protocols for reading biblical texts, and preaching in (post) modernity. By suggesting a better way to preach, and giving some practical tips on maximizing a preacher's oratorical powers, Dr. Lim tries to lead preachers out of the Wilderness of dull, insipid and boring preaching into the Promised Land of dynamic, enthusiastic and vibrant preaching.","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54244013670744,"sku":"9780761823469","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761823469.jpg?v=1769846456","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/power-in-preaching","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
