Abstract

Most of the content of the Scriptures are conveyed in narratives telling God’s acts of salvation. The communication of the narratives in a vigorous way can give weight to faith confession, liturgy, and catchesis. Christian faith proclamation is basically a series of narratives telling the story of life, death, and resurrection of Christ as has been told by the Scriptures and retold in narratives. A ‘narrative analysis’ is a method that has its advantages on the ‘narrative world’ with all the images and imagination. By entering the narrative world constructed by the authors of the Scriptures, the reader participates in the ‘world of images’ presenting the meanings contained in it and that brings a useful faculty for the contextual praxis of proclamation. This model of communication places the author and the reader in the same ‘narrative world’ though with different experiences. A narrative analysis is not so much a ‘door’ opening to the past behind the narratives as a ‘mirror’ projecting particular images, i.e. the narrative world, so as to provide an ability to the reader to absorb the meanings conveyed in the narratives and to experience their saving power.

Abstract

The author argues that homily is not only an event to explain the Scriptures and relate them to the believers’ experiences in order to find God’s will in their daily lives, but a transformative experience for the preacher that it should be conveyed in an attractive, understandable, and influential way. One of the alternatives discussed here is the imaginative preaching. The setting of the imaginative preaching is the world of images, that is, the images living in the sphere of mind and heart. A homily is a space that captures various images from the Scriptures as well as from the believers’ experiences and paints the images through the verbal language, which is used not only to ‘explain’ something already known by the hearers, but to present a figurative language that may open the horizons formerly not realised with simply an explaining language. Imaginative preaching intensifies and opens up the horizons, and not simply widens them. It may offer different ways of understanding to the believers as a community, which is also the place of God’s presence and works day-by-day. In this way imaginative preaching might also be seen as an area of study that focuses on the relatedness among God’s stories, the believers’ stories, and the preacher’s stories. A homilist must always build a bridge between the text and the believers’ context by way of painting the images in the sphere of figurative-verbal-language – a narrative.
