Description
Book SynopsisKorean Preaching, Han, and Narrative defines a narrative style of preaching as an alternative to the traditional expository and topical preaching that has dominated the Christian pulpit in Korean culture for more than one hundred years. From a psychological and aesthetic perspective, this book shows how humor in sermons can have a cathartic effect on Korean listeners. Furthermore, the narrative devices of Chunhyangjun suggest an endemic model for Korean Christian narrative preaching to bring the minjung healing from their han and transform their lives through the Gospel.
Trade Review«In this book, Sangyil Park presents in the clearest manner possible a mastery of cross-cultural approaches to preaching by recognized teachers of preaching while not forgetting the narrative genius of effective Korean preachers. This book is an excellent manual for teachers, students, and preachers.» (J. Alfred Smith Sr., Senior Professor of Preaching and Church Ministries, American Baptist Seminary of the West and the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California)
