By drawing on the sociological concept of symbolic boundaries, the author demonstrates that Paul in his preaching of 1 Thessalonians used three symbolic resources in order to create boundaries for the formation of the Thessalonian community: the kerygmatic narrative, local narratives, and ethical norms. This interdisciplinary study suggests that contemporary preachers, who face the task of forming Christian communities in a post-Christian society, should preach shared narratives and communal norms for the creation of boundaries as Paul did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction – The New Homiletic: The Turn to the Individual Listener – Paul’s Main Intention of Preaching in 1 Thessalonians: Community Formation – Paul’s Preaching for Community Formation: The Creation and Maintenance of Symbolic Boundaries – Homiletical Implications of Paul’s Preaching for Community Formation with Regard to the Post-Christian Context – Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043669246295,"sku":"9783034330893","price":46.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/paul-s-community-formation-preaching-in-1-thessalonians-an-alternative-to-the-new-homiletic-9783034330893","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
