Review

Krista Tippett --executive producer and host of On Being "Ellen Davis is the rare academic--a brilliant academic--who takes seriously the art, craft, and calling of preaching. I am grateful that this book is in the world, in a moment in which the world so urgently needs the discerning, luminous word." Fleming Rutledge --author of The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ "Davis's biblical interpretations have been widely admired for decades, but this volume exceeds even those that have gone before in its usefulness for preachers. If preachers pay attention to these essays, they will be shaken to the foundations, but when their foundation is the true Word of the living God, they--and their congregations--will be renewed from the Source. This book deserves the much-overused word 'prophetic' and should be close at hand on every preacher's shelf." Samuel Wells --coauthor of Eucharistic Prayers and Shaping the Prayers of the People "Ellen Davis's preaching has a fierce intimacy, a deft poetry, a profound playfulness, and a rigorous passion. Just like the Bible. And just like God."

Long Description

Preaching The Luminous Word features insights from one of the most distinctive and eloquent scholar-preachers of our time. Inviting serious theological engagement with texts from all parts of the Christian Bible, noted preacher Ellen F. Davis offers fifty-one engaging sermons. A brief preface sets each sermon in its geographic and liturgical context, highlights distinctive themes, and draws attention to elements of structure and rhetorical style. The sermons are arranged in canonical order and cover a wide scope of texts - Torah, Prophets, Writings (including Psalms, Proverbs, Lamentations, Song of Songs, and Job), Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation. Also included in the volume are five choice essays by Davis that discuss various aspects of biblical preaching. At once accessible, theologically informed, and richly instructive, these sermons will engage Christian readers at any stage of their faith journey.
