Abstract
This article explores the notion of preaching as a form of perception, in particular as
pertaining to viewing life through the lenses of Scriptures. The aesthetical concept
of “reframing” is utilised to argue that preaching as perception intends behavioral
change of a second order (as opposed to first order, i.e. superficial change). Three
aesthetical examples are introduced to illustrate this art of reframing, namely works
by Duchamp, Zapiro, and Grünewald. The conclusion is that reframing offers a unique
option to preach the foolishness of the gospel, in contrast to the wisdom of the
world.
