I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Preaching as Testimony right now, as I'm mostly writing for my preparation for coursework...

Ok. I was hard on poor David Lose  in my earlier post. Really hard. Like, perhaps unfairly hard. Because in Preaching at the Crossroads: H...

The sermon out of which Michael B. Curry's book Crazy Christians: A Call to Follow Jesus  came is the first chapter of his book, but i...
