Preaching, and the discipline of preaching, is at a crossroads. The changing realities of church and theological education, the diversity of our classrooms, and our increasingly complex community contexts leave us in search of tools to help train a rising generation of preachers for a future whose contours are far from clear. The questions are immense: How to support preachers in contexts that are diverse religiously, culturally, and ethnically, both inside and outside the church? How to help students take varied contexts seriously as they are formed as leaders? ln Ways of the Word, 3 dynamic team of master preachers brings much-needed help. Different in race, gender, age, and tradition, both Sally A. Brown and Luke A. Powery speak with one voice their belief that preaching is Spirit-empowered event: an embodied, vocalized, actively received, here-and-now witness to the ongoing work of God in the world.
Sally A. Brown is Princeton Seminary's Elizabeth M. Engle Associate Professor of Preaching and Worship. Luke A. Powery is the clean of Duke University Chapel and associate professor of homiletics at Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina. He has also taught at Princeton Theological Seminary and is an ordained Baptist minister.
