This thesis concerns the generative capacity of metaphor for preaching. It describes a dialogue between two poles-the congregational context and scripture-and the emergence of symbolic language for preaching. The thesis is based on Paul Ricoeur's linguistic theory of distanciation: standing before the text, the congregation and preacher can find new meaning. The methodology encourages imagination in preaching and a genuine dialogue between the congregation and scripture. It also illustrates Don S. Browning's theory of the visional dimension of practical theology: A congregation will generate story, myth and metaphor to describe itself.
