Dr. Karoline Lewis, Assistant Professor of Preaching at Luther Seminary, is our Visiting Preaching Scholar for winter/spring 2010. She will continue her series, “Grace Happens: Knowing God’s Love In Our Everyday Lives,”on Sunday, February 7, at 9:35am.
As a teacher of preachers, Karoline Lewis believes that those who will stand in the pulpits of the future church need to renew their trust in the Bible. A biblical text ought to be something more than a jumping-off point to doctrine or other topics in a sermon, she says.
Lewis is a homiletician who takes biblical texts very seriously. She taught several New Testament courses at Luther Seminary before joining its homiletics faculty in 2007, and her Ph.D., from Emory University in Atlanta, is in New Testament with special focus in homiletics. Lewis sees that dual emphasis in the Bible and in preaching as a way to bridge the gap between biblical studies and the church at large.
