What is the homiletical counterpart to the "Emergent" church movement/conversation? In an increasingly postmodern world-one that resists individual authority, is bored with linear structure, mistrusts language's capacity to convey truth, and is deeply suspicious of meta-narratives-how does the church speak a Word from God?

Presented at the 2007 Calvin Symposium on 91ÁÔÆæ.
