(Searle 10, 16; Gaillardetz 89-90; Bruteau 114). 2. Practicing spirituality (in prayer and contemplation) draws human attentions for justice. This connects human life to God (divine full presence) and…

In all of our readings this semester, I have been able to relate to all of the images of the preachers that we have studied (both in the assigned readings and in the sermon clips that we have watched). I have seen a bit of myself in each of the images. However, my personal theology of preaching seems to be most in line with the narrative forms and images as presented by Eugene Lowery and Anna Carter Florence.

the humanity of Jesus. He began preaching against the title Theotokos or Mother of God, beginning to be used of the Virgin Mary. He distinguished between the logos (“divine nature”) and Christ (the Son, the Lord) as a union of divine nature and human nature. He refused to attribute the human acts and the sufferings of Jesus to the divine nature, arguing that God could not suffer on the cross, as God is omnipotent. Therefore the Virgin Mary, could not be viewed as the Mother of God, but simply as…
