Sacramental Presence - An Embodied Theology of Preaching

Sacramental Presence develops a theology of preaching grounded in the embodied event of preaching. Comparing the steps involved in voice production with the fourfold shape of the Eucharist, the author argues that preaching is an event of communion with God, and as such is personal, communal, and political.
