"Preaching via Time draws jointly the simplest contemporary paintings in biblical, theological, and homiletic reviews and makes a wholly good notion for what should still come subsequent. Barton's conscientiously argued functional theology insists that 'a functional eschatology reasserts time as crucial for preaching.' Luke and Paul 'preached' this manner, bringing prior and destiny jointly within the current and encouraging preachers all through Christian heritage. Now, drawing from Wright's and Vanhoozer's analogies with drama, Barton exhibits us easy methods to invite listeners into God's tale because it unfolds in time. His transparent imaginative and prescient bears analyzing and rereading with the intention to get better what has been ignored and picture new possibilities."
