Doctrine that Dances a “fascinating, creative exploration”
As Robert Smith, Jr. observes in his book Doctrine that Dances, our fathers in the church were building on an image, a metaphor that was woven through the scriptures. We are a people who are created in the image of God and who therefore have dance in our very genes. Miriam danced when she reached freedom. David danced before the Lord. (Fortunately, Dr. Smith does not advocate naked doctrinal preaching!) Smith also observes that he is not the first to liken preaching to dance – Eugene Lowry employed an image suggested by David Buttrick to entitle his homiletical text, Dancing the Edge of Mystery. But what Robert Smith does do is invite the preacher into a fascinating, creative exploration of our genetic make-up and challenges us to become better dancers.
