Lectionary Preaching Workbook Series 5 Cycle C
$53.68Bigger, stronger, better! Russell Anderson has taken the most original and successful lectionary resource in history and improved on it.

Instead of stopping there, though, he added: a 7″ x 10″ one-size-fits-all format, a suggested sermon title for each week, a Sermon Angle which briefly explicates the theological theme for the day (sometimes providing two or three of them) and two to four illustrative stories per chapter.

Preaching As Local Theology And Folk Art
$45.00Good preaching not only requires its practitioners to become skilled biblical exegetes. It also requires them to become adept in “exegeting” local congregations and their contexts, so that they can proclaim the gospel in relevant and transformative ways for particular communities of faith. Unfortunately, however, homiletical texts and courses have not always attended as carefully or thoughtfully to the exegesis of contexts as they have to the exegesis of the texts. While preachers have been provided with detailed methods for biblical interpretation, congregational interpretation has frequently been left to the intuition and hunches of the local pastor. This book seeks to correct that imbalance.

Hum : Call And Response In African America Preaching
$20.99In The Hum: Call and Response in African Preaching, Evans E. Crawford, with Thomas H. Troeger, relates his analysis of African American folk preaching by relying upon an indigenous scheme for evaluation. The call/response tension in black preaching (derived from a West African tradition) is what drives the musicality of speech in black churches. Crawford refers to this musicality as “hum thoughts” and one can imagine the choir responding with a low rumbling hum to the musical intonations of a motivated preacher.
Key features: a new volume in the Abingdon Preacher’s Library, edited by Thomas H. Troeger; a different approach to preaching, firmly rooted in the black experience; leads the reader to understand preaching as an oral event; uses the term “homiletical musicality” to describe the musical understanding of the way sermons are heard and the oral response they awaken in the listener; and, coins new phrases for describing the preaching event.

$14.99Master the craft of effective communication that grabs attention and wins hearts. Like everyone else, preachers long to be understood. Unfortunately the rules first learned in seminary, if misapplied, can quickly turn homiletic precision into listening boredom.

Amply illustrated from some of today’s best preachers, Preaching that Connects walks through the entire sermon, from the critical introduction, to the bridge, to the illustrations and final application. Key points include the five key techniques for generating creative ideas, your six options for illustrations, and the ten rules for great story-telling — and why the transition sentence is the hardest sentence you’ll write.

Intrusive Word A Print On Demand Title
$19.99The Intrusive Word follows William H. Willimon’s widely acclaimed Peculiar Speech: Preaching to the Baptized. Whereas the latter pondered the implications of speaking week after week to the believer, this volume considers what it means to preach to those who have not yet heard the gospel in its life-changing, disruptive fullness.
The Intrusive Word presents preaching as an act of evangelism in today’s church. In his lively, pointed, and at times humorous style, Willimon shows how today’s pastors must revise their preaching task as part of the church’s joyful attempt to proclaim Christ. Each chapter is followed by one of Willimon’s own sermons illustrating his concerns in a practical, biblical way.
Readers of this book will experience rebirth and renewal in their own lives as the Word of God gracefully intrudes. Pastors and students of homiletics will find imaginative models of evangelistic preaching that demonstrate that “preaching in the service of anything less than a living, intrusive God is not worth the effort.”

Preaching As Weeping Confession And Resistance
$31.00From the Publisher: How can a person preach a word of hope and faith in a world filled with violence and suffering? To do this, Christine Smith says, one must encounter and name the radical evil that oppresses persons in the world – evils such as handicappism, ageism, heterosexism, sexism, white racism, and classism. She believes preaching is an interpretation of our present world and an invitation to a profoundly different world. It is a form of passionate weeping in a universe filled with human suffering, inequity, and oppression; it is a form of confession where preachers can shape sermons that call our communities into painful and honest confession; and it is a form of resistance moving people to actively resist the attitudes and structures of oppression.

Homiletics
$30.00To Barth, one of this century’s most influential theologians, theology should never be an end in itself. Instead, it should be ”nothing other than sermon preparation.” Now, in this new translation by Geoffrey Bromiley and Donald Daniels, students can meet and wrestle with Barth’s homiletical definitions and ideas on sermon preparation, including his understanding of the ways preachers should interpret Scripture. Barth presented this material as seminar lectures in Bonn in 1932-33.

Embodied Word : Preaching As Art And Liturgy
$26.66Liturgy as the work of God’s people gives the preacher a place to stand-an organic connection with an intentional sacramental community, says Rice. The place of preaching is the community, Christ’s body, and the hermeneutic that governs homiletical exegesis, style, and presentation comes from the liturgical situation of the sermon.
The Embodied Word puts preaching in its proper place-in the presence of the baptistry and close to the table. As Rice explores the implications of that placement for the specific concerns of homiletics, the use of Scripture, and the appropriation of the arts, he concludes that the movement of the sermon is from text to table and that the action of the liturgy both depends upon and empowers the word.
