This thesis is about re-discovering the gift of play. Play is how we begin the discovery of our world, and in this thesis the author seeks to better understand how this wonderful gift can apply to preaching. In these pages, the author outlines the theory of play put forward by the British psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott and explains how his theories are impacting homiletics. The author's contention is that it is through play that the preacher not only gains a better grasp of the biblical text, but the preacher also gains a deeper more soul-searching experience into the realm of the Holy. The implication for pastors is a renewed freedom that expresses itself through powerfully transforming sermons.
