The call to holistic preaching has many dimensions. Are we called to preach the good news of God's grace? Advocate for justice? Is preaching worship? A prophetic act? "Yes," Jennifer Ackerman answers--to all of the above. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and concrete advice, readers will learn how to join gospel and justice in community. Ackerman draws on her experience as a practitioner, teacher, and director of Brehm Preaching--A Lloyd John Ogilvie Initiative at Fuller Theological Seminary to provide concrete tools for readers seeking to develop their capacity for preaching with a relational focus. Ackerman helps us think about preaching through the lenses of community, justice, worship, and prophecy. The work of the church is work best done together, both within congregations and as ministers connect with fellow practitioners. Grounded in Scripture, with tangible resources and exemplar sermons, Preaching the Gospel of Justice is a hands-on tool for translating theory into practice.
Rev. Dr. Jennifer L. Ackerman is assistant professor of preaching at Fuller Theological Seminary and director of Brehm Preaching--A Lloyd John Ogilvie Initiative. She has a PhD in theology and culture from Fuller Seminary and is an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA) with nearly thirty years' experience facilitating worship and preaching in churches across the United States.
