Barbara E. Reid 
Preaching the Cross of Christ [EPUB ebook] 

With an approach that is marked by both sound scripture scholarship and keen pastoral insight, Barbara Reid explores the ways that the saving work of Jesus has been approached in preaching. She uncovers a rich variety of metaphors, symbols, analogies—some severely limited and others immensely liberating. Reid writes, ‘I would like to invite preachers to become more cognizant about the possible deleterious effects of some of the ways we preach about the cross, and to explore others that have not been adequately mined for the liberative potential.’
