{"product_id":"9781556735738","title":"Thinking In Story","description":"We are living on the boundary between the print and electronic era. Richard A. Jensen says that as we move into the electronic world, we must seriously rethink most of what we do. This book calls us to reinvestigate preaching in our time.\u003cp\u003eWell-grounded in an understanding of communication cultures, this book is a rare gift. In theory and practice, Jensen helps preachers rethink what they are doing and offers a strategy for effective communication in an electronic era.\u003cbr\u003eRichard L. Thulin, Th.D.\u003cbr\u003eDean and Professor of Preaching\u003cbr\u003eLutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg\u003cbr\u003eGettysburg, Pennsylvania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJensen's \"thinking in story\" thesis provides a scholarly, logical rationale for why it both \"feels\" and \"is\" so right; Jensen applies his \"thinking in story\" concept to biblical material as well. His approach helps us to see individual texts\/stories in light of the larger biblical story, which opens up many new avenues for preaching.\u003cbr\u003eThomas Rogers\u003cbr\u003eAssistant Professor of Homiletics\u003cbr\u003ePacific Lutheran Theological Seminary Berkeley, California\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are solid prescriptions for our media-saturated times, calling for a shift in our very approach to proclamation. Jensen is quite right in this goal, that preaching needs to compel participation in the narratives of scripture, not merely an understanding of them.\u003cbr\u003eJames Nieman\u003cbr\u003eAssistant Professor of Homiletics\u003cbr\u003eWartburg Theological Seminary\u003cbr\u003eDubuque, Iowa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard A.
