Idlewild Sermons: from Idlewild Presbyterian Church (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949888591)

The collegium of preachers to which Steve Montgomery and I belong now has it plate exceedingly full of expectation, demand, and responsibility. That plate is full because we now live in a culture of commoditization that is bent toward self-destruction and death, in which human persons and creaturely possibility are ruthlessly transposed into marketable goods. The force of that commoditization is immense in the ominous pursuit of security and domination. In the midst of that force, the preacher is expected to speak some good news that is at the same time honest and compelling.
