Preach Act Theory

• Preaching: Information vs. Formation
• Identity: History of Sedimentation (Alistair McFadyen)
• Speech Act Theory - What is the NT Doing to Us
• Luther:

“It is Luther’s central motivating concern to give proper utterance to the Word and it is this singular and all consuming concern which marks out his work in the Reformation.” - Gerhard Ebeling

“For Luther the problem isn’t that we can’t talk about God and can’t put it into language - as it is for some theologians. For Luther, the problem is putting the Word in the proper language, so that it strikes our ear in such a fashion that it takes up residence in our hearts and produces faith.”  - Gordon Isaac
