"W hat if they threw a jazzfest to honor Gene Lowry and his narrative homiletical theory, and many of the preaching 'greats' showed up to honor him and improvise upon his work? That's what happens in this informative and highly provocative look at the past, present, and future of narrative preaching. But those who want to come to this party had better bring their dancing shoes! It's hard to sit still when so many fine homiletical minds are stirring the preacher's intellect and imagination with their wisdom, their insight, and their play with the narrative art." --Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, Yale Divinity School

Lowry and his contribution to homiletics.
