Abstract
  • This thesis proposes that the cultural performance of church praxis, when effective, prompts individual performances of Christian faith from its members which carry through the gospel into everyday life. Using insights from the field of performance studies, a descriptive examination is given of performance in general, cultural performance, modalities of performance, and a methodology of dialogical performance. The areas of preaching, scripture, doctrine, and ethics are examined as components of the church's cultural performance. Proposing a prompting homiletic, this thesis examines preaching in more detail and suggests how the sermon might be crafted to evoke the performance of listeners.
