"But I Was Just Preaching!" Proclaiming the Justice and Hope from the Old Testament - "I Don't Like the Way This Story Ends" Justice as a Goal of Narrative Preaching

Lecture given Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "This workshop helps participants think about preaching Old Testament texts concerning justice. Each session addresses a genre of biblical text and panelists discuss the move from text to sermon. Since biblical texts often conceive of justice as reciprocal, generous, mutually beneficial relationships, preaching can help us move beyond guilt to true community."
