Conversations with Benjamin

Preaching & Worship

“With wisdom, clarity, and imagination, Martha Brune Rapp weaves a seamless fabric of preaching theology and practice for her readers. Part Socratic dialogue and part storytelling, Conversations with Benjamin offers a thoughtful exploration of who the preacher is and what skillful preaching does. Dr. Rapp’s insights are fresh and encouraging—good news for today’s preachers and other ministers of God’s word.”

The Preacher’s Guide to Suicide

Preaching & Worship

“With a provocative, integrative look at Scripture and Christian tradition, Johnson asks us to reconsider our cherished tropes and packaged responses to suicide, offering instead an approach that is both scholarly and practical. Johnson pulls us toward the understanding that a true engagement with suicide is the theological responsibility of those who are called to preach God’s word.”
