Description
Trade ReviewJason Boyd has engaged in a radical examination of his preaching practice, not as mere upskilling but as rigorous and reflective theological inquiry. In doing so he has explored and reframed what it is to do theology in the practice of his preaching and, thereby, contribute to the field of practical theology...What is innovative about this work is how he has brought theological inquiry and action research together, not in an isolated or theoretical way only but in conversation with members of his congregation in the reality of his Sunday preaching. His creation and realisation of the notion of the Word Café is an innovative contribution to both fields. -- David Coghlan
Jason Boyd offers a fresh and compelling model of preaching as democratic hermeneutics and everyday liberation. It encourages preaching as an event that is at once both orthodox and existential, and allows for the meaning making and wisdom to be shared horizontally, not vertically, as a means of equipping the body of Christ to attain a deeper relevance and desire for discipleship in today's complex world. -- Chris Baker
