Webb Lectures, Preaches at Hood Theological Seminary |
Thanks to an invitation from Dr. Andre Resner, homiletics professor, Dr. Joseph Webb visited Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury, North Carolina, on Tuesday, March 11. Webb preached in chapel and lectured to a combined set of classes about "preaching without notes." The students at Hood Seminary use Webb's book, Preaching Without Notes, in their introductory preaching classes, and the class discussion that ensued was both lively and insightful. Webb's chapel sermon was based on the story of Deborah and Barak from chapters 4 and 5 of Judges, and was titled, "The Woman Behind the Lattice." It is a sermon that is published in Webb's book, Old Texts, New Sermons: The Quiet Revolution in Biblical Preaching (Chalice Press, 2000). As part of the day, the students participated in a book signing with Dr. Webb, under the auspices of the Augsburg Bookstory on campus. As the above photograph indicates, the occasion also provided a first introduction to this web site, the "audio" version, in effect, of the Preaching Without Notes textbook. |
