In this reflection on the place of preaching today, Richard Lischer recognizes that our mass-communication culture is exhausted by words. Facing up to language's disappointments and dead ends, he opens a path to its true end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With chapters on vocation, interpretation, narration, and reconciliation, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Words\u003c\/i\u003e shows how faithful reading of Scripture rather than flashy performance paves the way for effective preaching; Lischer challenges conventional storytelling with a deeper and more biblical view of narrative preaching. The ultimate purpose of preaching, he argues, is to speak God's peace, the message of reconciliation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While Lischer's \u003ci\u003eEnd of Words\u003c\/i\u003e will surely be invaluable to pastors and preachers, his honest, readable style will appeal to anyone concerned with speaking Christianly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Lischer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
