Seasoned Speech

“This is an enlightening and fascinating exploration of five witnesses to the Christian faith and gospel. Even more, these diverse truth bearers—C. S. Lewis, Dorothy Sayers, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Desmond Tutu, and Marilynne Robinson—function as lenses through which James Beitler III shows how the Word, liturgy, and life weave together rhetorically in faithful witness in differing contexts. Beitler's treatment is itself a keen example of seasoned speech, an embodied and intensely personal witness tinged with liturgical overtones. The effect of Beitler's evocative analysis is twofold: to encourage the reader to a self-examination of one's own Christian self, and to invite the reader to participate in the kind of embodied witness that Christian existence entails.”

Setting Words On Fire

Preaching & Worship

“Wilson weaves a conversation with a cast that spans nearly every century of the church's life. Mining sermons old and new, Wilson reflects on what they do well and how preachers can implement similar proclamatory practices in order to make their sermons more meaningful. Paul Wilson is one of our important cartographers, producing important and reliable maps for students, homileticians, and preachers. Yet, what drives his academic passion is his warm, personal faith and deep conviction in the reality of the gospel--the living, loving, redeeming, and saving God who continues to pursue a troubled and troubling creation.”
