Questions Preachers Ask [EPUB ebook] 
Essays in Honor of Thomas G. Long

‘How do we preach in a way that affirms Christian theology while also honoring the insights of other faith traditions?’ ‘How do we preach about and help create genuine Christian community in a social networking culture?’
Questions Preachers Ask examines many questions that are on the minds of preachers today, questions that focus on how to preach the gospel in a culture where biblical knowledge cannot be presumed and where the Bible is often viewed as untrustworthy. Well-known preachers, scholars, and authors, including Barbara Brown Taylor, Gail O’Day, Anna Carter Florence, Richard Lischer, and Thomas Lynch, provide the answers.

This book, compiled to honor writer, preacher, teacher, and scholar Thomas G. Long at the end of his teaching career, addresses practical questions such as ‘How do we proclaim the good news to young adults who are on the margins of church or have left it?’ and ‘How do we preach to faith communities that are highly diverse?’ Perfect for preachers at any stage of their ministry, these essays offer hope and guidance for handling the difficult task of preaching in today’s congregations.
