So, for example, if you wanted to provide maps and timelines, you can put them up on the screen during the sermon, but you wouldn't have to talk through them. If they were good illustrations, they would speak for themselves in relation to the sermon- same goes for art.Clint Schneklothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707900080657719369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-1149591353799604732006-06-06T05:55:00.000-05:002006-06-06T05:55:00.000-05:00I agree with you that 2 is in conflict with 3.

It certainly is not a Lutheran "the Gospel contained in the Scriptures is the Word of God" hermeneutic. <BR/><BR/>I think 3 is very difficult because so few of our hearers even have a passing acquaintance with the meta-narrative. This may or may not be the failure of the three-year lectionary, with which we seem to be stuck. But in order to include the meta-narrative, it almost seems as if you have to devote half the sermon to it, therefore ensuring that everybody will zone out. <BR/><BR/>We used Harry Wendt's Crossways materials to try and get some of the grand sweep of Scripture across, but it is difficult to remember on a Sunday morning without it right in front of you. This would be the only reason I would even consider the idea of video screens. None of this movie-clip junk, give me a map and a time-line. But then are we spending the sermon teaching, rather than proclaiming the Gospel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-1149512929560014812006-06-05T08:08:00.000-05:002006-06-05T08:08:00.000-05:00Chip, thanks!
