DESCRIPTION

"In this one-volume resource kit, Richard Jensen helps preachers use visual images creatively and responsibly. How, how much, when, what equipment, use of teams, relationship to exegesis, different varieties of images, sources - all the essential topics and concerns are addressed here. Jensen first discusses how vital, if controversial, image-making has always been in Christian tradition and then demonstrates how preaching with images is both profoundly traditional and necessary to contemporary proclamation. He combines practical advice with religious reflection to enable preachers to help their congregations envision the Word anew." The accompanying CD-ROM contains not only the full text of the book and a helpful study guide, but also a starter kit of images from the Icon collection and links to the most helpful Web-based sources of images.
