Theology for Preaching

The heart of the postmodern mind-set is an awareness of the relativity of all human thought and action. In Theology for Preaching , three authors collaborate to discuss the implications for proclamation when the culture behaves as if all human thought and practices are relative. Tips for sermon composition and theme are proposed. Sample sermons are supplied to demonstrate awareness of the cultural shifts that make preaching a worthwhile challenge in a postmodern ethos.
