Preachers face the daunting task of coming up with inspiring, profound, biblical sermons week in and week out. Sometimes we feel like the well of inspiration has gone dry and we don’t know where to look for a re-fill. This workshop trains preachers to take a page out of novelists’ playbook and practice the fine art of noticing what is right in front of our eyes: the characters, patterns and plots of scripture (textscape), our inner lives (inscape) and life around us (landscape), weaving them into sermons that connect Bible and life in engaging, transforming ways.

This course is taught by Dr. Alyce M. McKenzie, Le Van Professor of Preaching and Worship, Perkins School of Theology, Co-director of the Perkins Center for Preaching Excellence at SMU, based on her 2010 book, Novel Preaching.
