Messenger Publications Hearers of the Word: Praying & exploring the
Book SynopsisThe readings for Lent in year C are mostly from Luke, with the emphasis falling on conversion and reconciliation (even the “stray” reading from John 8:1-11 is Lukan in tone). This year, the narrative arc from the Old Testament begins with a very ancient Israelite creed, “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor,” a mysteriously inspiring narrative. In a markedly consistent way, the middle readings, all from the undisputed letters of Paul, link with other readings and help to bring them into our present moment. By exploring the context and background to all three readings, the author hopes to make the readings available for personal prayer and as a preparation for taking part in the Sunday liturgy. A very useful resource for all who wish to get more out the Sunday readings. Fr Kieran is very well-known for his regular email resources of resources on the readings. These are hugely popular amongst clergy and others. Now, for the first time, these readings are brought together in a series of books. This is the second volume covering Lent and Holy Week.

The Library of America American Sermons (LOA #108): The Pilgrims to
Book SynopsisThe sermon is the first and most enduring genre of American literature. At the center of the Puritan experience, it continued in succeeding centuries to play a vital role—as public ritual, occasion for passion and reflection, and, not least, popular entertainment. The fifty-eight sermons collected in this volume display the form’s eloquence, intellectual rigor, and spiritual fervor. Ranging from the first New England settlements to mass-media evangelism and the civil rights movement in the 1960s, these texts reclaim a neglected American tradition.The Puritan sermons with which the volume opens are extraordinary in their richness of imagery, force of argument, and probing psychological insight. From John Winthrop’s visionary injunction that “wee must consider that wee shall be as a citty upon a Hill,” to Samuel Danforth’s admonition not to deviate from the divine “errand into the wilderness,” these seventeenth-century works first explored what it means to be an American.Jonathan Edwards’s remarkable “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” which stirred its eighteenth-century audiences to frenzy, shows the intensity to which the sermon could rise, while Jonathan Mayhew’s “Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission” heralds the political thinking that led to the American Revolution.The ferment of the nineteenth century—the Mexican War, the struggle against slavery, the Civil War—inevitably affected the sermon. Orthodoxies were challenged, and a new diversity emerged in the Unitarianism of William Ellery Channing, the Transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the new Church of Latter Day Saints, and the gathering strength of the African-American sermon tradition.The twentieth-century sermons collected here continue to wrestle with fundamental spiritual and civic concerns. They range from a homily on charity by the popular evangelist Billy Sunday to a discourse on interfaith cooperation by Abraham Joshua Heschel, and from Harry Emerson Fosdick’s controversial “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” to John Gresham Machen’s uncompromising riposte. The achievement of the African-American sermon attains a new breadth of influence in the inspiring oratory of Martin Luther King Jr.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Homiletik: Aktuelle Konzepte und ihre Umsetzung
Book Synopsis14 prominente TheologInnen der Gegenwart stellen ihr Predigtkonzept vor. Anhand eigener Arbeitsproben erläutern sie, worauf es ankommt , wie es gemacht wird und was das für die Theologie als Ganze bedeutet.Die homiletische Forschungslandschaft ist – nach dem Abschied von den großen theologischen Schulen – unübersichtlich geworden. Nicht nur Berufsanfänger finden es schwer, inmitten des großen Angebots hilfreiche Trends für die eigene Praxis zu entdecken. Umso notwendiger ist es, das breite Angebot zu sichten und für die Predigt fruchtbar zu machen. Das Studienbuch bietet hierfür eine gut strukturierte, anschauliche Basis. Die vierzehn Beispiele sind unter den Stichworten »Auf die Gegenwart hin«, »Dem Vollzug nach« und »Von den Aufgaben her« gebündelt und setzen eigene Akzente. Dialogische Strukturen ermöglichen es den Nutzern, in die Diskussion einzutreten, sei es mit Martin Nicol, Manfred Josuttis oder Isolde Karle.

Book SynopsisIs fellowship still possible? In this volume Jochen Kaiser analyses how we experience music during church services. In his view singing and making music may best be seen as both the individual and collective expression of the faith of those assembled.Music during church services can be a convincing expression of the faith of the individual, both of heart and soul. All persons present become part of a temporary, spiritual collective.The resultant meaning of church music for the religious experience of the individual forms the empirical part of this work by Jochen Kaiser. He sent out an appeal to collect essays and musical examples taken from actual experiences, 64 of which he analysed using the so-called documentary method. The results show that singing and making music during church services can be interpreted as both an individual and collective expression of the faith of those present.
