![]() ![]() Proclamation as a divine-human activity is not the preaching act of individual preachers, but a mutual giving and receiving of the manifestations of preaching by the whole church in the Spirit. The Pauline vision of the body of Christ in the Spirit, together with Michael Welker’s doctrine of the Spirit as God’s force field and the public person of Christ, provide the grounding for claiming Christian preaching as communal participation in the Spirit’s working force for proclamation. ![]() ![]() Yet what is lacking in all this is a balanced account of the role of the divine agency in proclamation. In keeping with a postmodern context, Christian proclamation was also extended to marginalized, silenced, and oppressed others. The preaching method changed from a rhetorical style to one that was more conversational and participatory. Then, to incorporate the communal dimension, homileticians began to emphasise the importance of the faith community as a whole in the preaching event. The New Homiletic movement that began in North America in the 1960s initially focused on individual listeners. ![]()

I'm thankful for this collection, for its wisdom and generosity, for its insistence on holding tight to beauty even as we face disintegration and destruction.' Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told YouĪ book of bravado and introspection, of feminist swagger and harrowing loss, Bright Dead Things considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact - tracing in intimate detail the ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth and falls in love.

When your nemesis also happens to be your fiancé, happily ever after becomes a lot more complicated in this wickedly funny, lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy debut.

Two characters antagonizing and sniping at each other can often veer into meanness and that never works for me. You may know by now that enemies to lovers is one of my least favorite tropes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This breathtaking new book from Emma Carroll, the critically-acclaimed author of Frost Hollow Hall, The Girl Who Walked on Air, In Darkling Wood and The Snow Sister, is a deliciously creepy story inspired by the creation of Frankenstein, and is brought to life by a leading talent in children's literature. ![]() Someone else has followed her here too, she says.Īnd the girl is terrified.

In short, we were reading Joseph Conrad, the final author in Columbia’s Literature Humanities (or Lit Hum) course, one of the two famous “great books” courses that have long been required of all Columbia College undergraduates. It was the end of the academic year, and the mood had grown agitated, burdened, portentous. “What are the constraints for you? What are the rivets?

She sabotaged friendships, believing the well-intentioned words by her friends were threats to her livelihood. Over the following weeks and months, the dangerous list lengthened: she avoided hair dryers, towels, most of her clothing, the colour green, certain foods (except foods she had bargained to herself were “okay” if she avoided walking on cracks), her mobile phone, and computer. After obligatory driving lessons with a Christian driving instructor, Britz began believing her thoughts were religious in meaning, and began new religious rituals. Soon, Britz was walking between classes on tiptoes, avoiding cracks, counting her footsteps out loud, having a certain number of steps to walk between locations. Avoiding sidewalk cracks would ensure the safety of both Britz and her parents. The old childhood rhyme Step on a crack, break your mother’s back, roared in her mind with a vengeance. And she would do everything within her will to make sure that never came true. ![]() Awakening from a vivid dream in which she had terminal brain cancer, Britz decided it was a warning.
