Beyond Heterosexism in the Pulpit

Preaching & Worship

Foreword

“You hold in your hands a book that's going to help you learn how to modify your language in order to welcome a new liberation with your preaching as well as your personal conversation. . . . Askew and Allen help us understand and welcome an unacknowledged group within every parish and culture. . . . [They] help us adapt, consider, and express a welcoming sensitivity for still another social group that has long waited for God's liberation to be offered to them. I am honored to celebrate their work.”

Risking the Terror

“'With every book, Christine Smith speaks faith with greater eloquence. She is both passionate and prophetic--a mix we desperately need. Risking the Terror is all about resurrection faith in action. Her message stays with you. Her courage is ethically compelling.”

“Here is a theologian, who believes in proclamation! Working from a distinction between God preached and the hidden God not preached, Gerhard Forde develops a theology for preachers. The thought is edgy; the style is exciting.”
