About Preaching As Resistance: Voices Of
Product Description As nationalism, patriarchy, and alt-right fear-mongering threaten our troubled nation, the pulpit has again become a subversive space of sacred resistance. In this provocative and powerful collection of sermons from diverse pastors across America, hear the brave and urgent voice of Christians calling for radical change rooted in love, solidarity, and justice. Preaching as Resistance resists, confronts, and troubles the dangerous structures of authoritarianism and oppression crashing in from all sides - and proclaims the transformation, possibility, and hope stirring in the gospel of Christ. From big-steeple churches in big cities to rural congregations in red states, preaching as resistance is practiced in a wide variety of social contexts and preaching styles, inspiring and equipping listeners to respond to the call of justice. Ideal for pastors and church leaders, Preaching as Resistance also provides the opportunity to experience hopeful, welcoming Christian voices rooted in the gospel values of love, solidarity, and justice. In these challenging times when Christianity is so often misrepresented, misunderstood, and misused for unjust agendas, take heart and find your own voice in this collection of resistance sermons from everyday pastors across the country.

Williams, Brian Zahnd Review Read, rise up, and resist! --Carol Howard Merritt Our churches are dying because our preachings focus on proclaiming correct doctrines and dogmas. Phil Snider has assembled a talented array of ministers committed to instead preach praxis - acts of resistance to transform the church into a community which does good news rather than simply provide lip service. --Miguel A. De La Torre, author of Liberating Sexuality and co-author of The US Handbook of Latina/Latino Theologies " Preaching as Resistance is more than a tool for pastors and a beacon of hope for activists and laypeople. It is more than a crystalized moment in time that tells the story of faithful responses to the white supremacist rally in Charlotte; the Pulse shooting; the #MeToo movement. It is about more than how to speak words themselves it is about how we might speak, and then turn those words into action. More than anything else Preaching as Resistance is a brick in the foundation of justice we must build and maintain in each and every church community. --Austen Hartke, author of Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians About the Author Phil Snider has served as senior minister of Brentwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) since 2003. Phil received his undergraduate degree from Missouri State University (Springfield, MO), then earned his masters degree at Phillips Theological Seminary (Tulsa, OK) and doctorate at Chicago Theological Seminary (Chicago, IL).
