Hear the Word

In this examination, Prette discusses the three essential elements of persuasive communication-pathos, ethos, and logos-and their parallels in Christian spiritual transformation-content, context, and conveyor. He offers a theological reflection
exploring and defining a biblical paradigm for spiritual formation through the exposition of the biblical logos that crosses cultural and generational boundaries. He also delves into the cultural shift that has taken place in the ethos of western culture, from a modernist worldview to a postmodern one, and its impact on Christian life and ministry.

HEAR the WORD offers nine important
themes that can guide spiritual leaders in listening to and proclaiming the authentic word of God in this new postmodern paradigm.
