Fringe, Front and Center: Sermons for the Sundays After Pentecost (Middle Third): Cycle B, Gospel Texts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780788008016)

For many years Professor Hoyer was editor and writer for Currents In Theology And Mission. In that publication he called the homiletical section "Preaching Helps." But he explained that the emphasis was to be put on the second word. "It is more than a noun. It's a verb," he said. "Preaching does help! Preaching conveys both the wisdom and power of God."

When sermons only talk about the gospel, they fail to utilize the power. They may be wise, but they don't work the work of God. Medics who answer a 911 call do more than talk about CPR. They diagnose. Then they supply the breath of life. In these gospel-based sermons Hoyer shows how to draw out the power of the word. His messages breathe life and hope into listening ears.

George W. Hoyer is Professor of Homiletics (Emeritus) at Christ Seminary, Seminex, in St. Louis, and teaches at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, California. He has served congregations in Sarnia, Ontario, and in Silver Springs, Maryland. At Christ Seminary he taught in the worship and liturgies departments and served as Dean of the Chapel.
