Abstract

The author addressed the homiletical challenge of trying to recapture the intent of the parables. The central question was, 'How does one recapture the punch of the parables in a modern setting, when the points of references are unfamiliar to today's audiences?' The project focussed on the reactions and evaluation of a select group of people from the congregation who heard two different methods of preaching on select parables. One method incorporated the homiletical suggestions of David Buttrick; the other method was a retelling of the parable in a modern setting. The conclusion was that Buttrick's method worked better.
