Becoming Human

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Powery’s impassioned ‘Spirit speech’ should be embraced by every pastor, seminary student, and congregation member.”

Blessed

Arts & Literature

“These beautiful and poignant monologues call us to the deep places of preaching, where bearing and birthing the Word is both a painful struggle and a joyful hope. Like Mary, Neal has pondered the Word in her heart, and she has given that Word rich, embodied form. All who enter this gospel drama with her will be fearfully and wonderfully blessed.”

Christian Preaching

Preaching & Worship

“Boldly challenging homiletical accommodation to American culture, Pasquarello seeks to change the subject of preaching from method and 'marketing' to the Triune God, who is the source and goal of our speech. A welcome theological vision of preaching.”

Feminine Registers

Preaching & Worship

“Feminine Registers is a wake-up call to homiletics. Drawing on feminist theory and the linguistic concept of register, Jennifer Copeland provides a thick analysis of the often-ignored role gender plays in preaching. Along the way, through homiletical reflection and practical examples, Copeland demonstrates the ways in which women's voices enrich the church's proclamation. This book is an important contribution to the homiletical literature and a valuable gift to both teachers and preachers.”

Homiletical Theology

Preaching & Worship

“In this important book, an all-star cast of homileticians explores a bold claim: preaching does not simply consume or use theology; preaching does theology in its own provisional, conversational mode. From diverse perspectives, the authors examine the constructive, practical, and methodological aspects of a homiletical theology. Along the way, they invite us to new perspectives on the nature of both theology and preaching.”

Ways of the Word

Preaching & Worship

“Ways of the Word is a groundbreaking textbook. In response to changing demographics in the classroom and growing diversity in homiletics, Sally A. Brown and Luke A. Powery recognize that no single-voiced guide will do. Instead, they offer a creative, dialogical book that models homiletical conversation and makes room for many traditions and voices. Deeply theological and profoundly practical, Ways of the Word invites both preaching students and experienced pastors into spirit-animated proclamation grounded in prayer, worship, and Scripture.”

Writings on Reconciliation and Resistance

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“"In this remarkable collection, Will Campbell unmasks the 'powers that be,' envisions an alternative order, and calls Christians to radical practices of resistance and reconciliation. The witness in these pages will call forth many adjectives: 'Unrealistic!' 'Outrageous!' 'Scandalous!' 'Shocking!' 'Foolish!' Most often, however, another word is best: Gospel. Unsettling and essential reading for contemporary Christians.”
