Making Gospel Sense is theologian James Wm. Mc Clendon, Jr.’s riveting story of his experiences as an interim pastor in a floundering congregation. Through twenty-six prophetic sermons, each introduced by interpretive commentary, Mc Clendon describes his call to the church, the struggle between disparate personalities, the difficulties and rewards of moving from classroom to sanctuary, and the evolution of his congregation from seemingly hopeless decline to spirited recovery. Here is a microcosm of today’s church – a tale of anxiety, dissension, self-discovery, and renewal.
Essential reading for pastors, seminarians, and all those who care about the church, ‚Making Gospel Sense‘ is at once a challenging and inspiring pilgrimage to the true meaning of ministry.
