Ethical Approaches to Preaching

Preaching & Worship

“Ethical Approaches to Preaching could not come at a better time as preachers grapple with how to address the concerns that matter to their listeners, their communities, and a hurting world. With methodical clarity and a helpful organizational framework, McClure gives preachers a guide to thinking through four different approaches to social issues, as well as how to apply the approaches in a given situation. This is an essential handbook for courageous, prophetic, and prudent sermons!”

From Pulpit to Public Square

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There has never been a time when the moral and ethical voice of the preacher is needed more in the public square. Voelz’s excellent and timely book provides theological grounding, practical steps, and inspiring examples to equip and motivate preachers for engaging social issues in their communities. Whether speaking at a rally, city council meeting, press conference, or other civic event, preachers would do well to read From Pulpit to Public Square in preparation for this important form of public proclamation.”

Queering the Pulpit

Preaching & Worship

“This is the book we’ve been waiting for! Queering the Pulpit is the first of its kind—a comprehensive approach to preaching that takes gender, sexuality, and LGBTQIA+ concerns into account. Whether you identify as Queer or desire to integrate Queer concerns into your preaching, this book provides what you need: a history of Queer folx, biblical foundations, theological grounding, and sermon approaches. Karyn Wiseman’s scholarship is honest, witty, and vulnerable—a gift to the church.”

Sacred Anthropology

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Tyshawn Gardner's book is a must-have handbook for today's prophetic leaders. Drawing from cultural anthropology and the hard-won wisdom of the Black church's struggle for justice, Sacred Anthropology provides spiritual, biblical, theological, and practical guidance for preaching, leading, and self-care. I will be using this book with my seminary students, and I highly recommend it for clergy and church leaders addressing social injustice.”

The Gospel People Don't Want to Hear

Preaching & Worship

“With her characteristic creativity and candor, Lisa Cressman fearlessly addresses the anxieties of clergy and churches while providing gospel-centered, practical, and hope-filled ideas for navigating this challenging time. Her trust in the ever-renewing love of God is contagious!”
