A SPACE FOR GRACE: TOWARDS AN AESTHETICS OF PREACHING

Abstract

Although the act of preaching may take on various forms, Johan Cilliers – professor in Homiletics and Liturgy at Stellenbosch University’s Faculty of Theology – takes a look at preaching as being an event in space and time. Aesthetical-theological concepts such as space and time are innovatively combined with the sensory experiences, like preaching as hearing and as seeing. A Space for Grace truly is an inspiring aesthetic combination of academic reflection, art works and sermons.
