Jones argues for an approach to preaching that facilitates holy inspiration, transformational discipleship, and faithful public witness. What she demonstrates in this book is a tested method of midrashic biblical imagination that enables preachers and their communities of faith to explore the polyvalence of the biblical text. In \u003ci\u003eMidrashic Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e, Jones draws on ancient and contemporary interpretive practices that privilege curiosity, open-ended questioning, and faithful imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJones's midrashic biblical imagination enables the preacher and congregation, or people in other communal settings, to unlock the various interpretive possibilities of any biblical text or genre. \u003ci\u003eMidrashic Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e provides an approach to Scripture that delays judgment, works across confessional and theological differences, and invites inquiry and curiosity centered on the biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMidrashic Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e is designed for working preachers who are called to preach biblically while searching for a solid, adaptable method to take the Bible imaginatively too.
