Riassunto

In this, the third volume of The Paul L. Holmer Papers: the reader will see Holmer’s deep concern with the problems and possibilities of the sermon, liturgy, ministry, and spirituality. Inspired by Søren Kierkegaard’s reflections on "indirect communication", and by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Holmer not only reveals his strenuous reflection on the sermon, but also gives
concrete examples of his own efforts to communicate, enabling his hearers and readers to "make sense" of their lives.
In the first part of this volume, Holmer reflects upon Kierkegaard’s "indirect communication", a communication not of knowledge but of human capacity. In other pieces Holmer turns to liturgy, ministry, and spirituality. In the second part, the reader sees Holmer’s own challenging, uncompromising practice of religious and Christian communication, in a selection of his sermons, addresses, and prayers. For anyone concerned with sermons, liturgy, spirituality, and the challenges of ministry, Holmer’s essays and
addresses will prove indispensable.
This is the third volume of The Paul L. Holmer Papers, which includes also volume 1, 'On Kierkegaard and the Truth', and volume 2, 'Thinking the Faith with Passion: Selected Essays'.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

This is an intensely intellectual and spiritual work of practical Theology that will particularly profit all University students interested in pastoral Theology, and also clergy and those preparing for ordination, but ultimately any thinking Christian would be blessed by this book. --Christopher Villiers, Theological Book Review, volume 26, no 1, 2014

These collections will appeal especially to those who knew Holmer personally and sat at his feet as students and colleagues. But the main reason that the editors and publishers have taken such trouble to bring these papers together is because they believe that they deserve a wider audience. They are right... --John Saxbee, Modern Believing (57.2), March 2016
