Product Overview
For many years the resolution plot has dominated homiletical theory,
made most famous by the ‘Lowry Loop’ – a staple of preaching theory for
today’s ministry student. Whilst the approach is important, some have
accused ‘resolution plot’ of leaving little room for ambiguity, and
failing to reflect the messy reality of life. ↵

Offering
a ground-breaking approach as a counter to well-worn preaching
strategies, this book explores the ‘revelatory plot’, focused more on
the gradual revelation of relevant truths within the biblical text
through character and embodied insight, and through imaginative and
sensory detail rather than through answering the questions ‘how and
‘why’. It will prove an invaluable resource for students, homileticians
and preachers alike.
