Theology of Preaching and Dialectic: Scriptural Tension, Heraldic Proclamation and the Pneumatological Moment

Preachers and theologians throughout Christian history have grappled with the problem of interpreting Scripture's apparently conflicting emphases alongside the urgent task of delivering the clear and authoritative 'Word of God' from the pulpit.

Aaron Edwards offers a new way of engaging with this problem by exploring the relationship between biblical dialectics and heraldic proclamation.

Edwards does so by highlighting the theological necessity of dialectical diversity without forfeiting contingent assertiveness in the prophetic moment of preaching.

A wide variety of key voices from the theological tradition are drawn upon to navigate the connection between Scriptural unity, clarity and multivocity, leading to a nuanced account of dialectic.
