Excerpt from The Preaching of Tomorrow: Address Delivered at the Opening of the Eighty-Sixth Academic Year
Now my answer will of course be but the fragment of a frag ment, as befits the limitation both of my knowledge and of my time: and it will have one special emphasis - the missionary emphasis - due to the fact that my life during the past year has been lived upon the frontier of Christendom.
What has worried me most, as I have thought back upon my own preaching and the preaching of many of my contemporaries,is its terrifying provincialism. The philandering of the Pro testant churches with that nationalism whose growth cul minated in bloated obesity in 1914 and whose feverish dying convulsions we are witnessing now, led to the supine acceptance, by many in the Protestant churches, of a nationalistic parochial version of the Christian message, which simply will not live in a frontierless world - That word frontierless may raise a momentary smile, in view of the cataleptic muscular contrae tions which we have seen among the nations during the last two years. Even the huge frame of America has tried somewhat grotesquely to huddle and shrivel into an isolation which is of course wholly impossible. The traveler from country to country is still harassed by regulations that suggest the fortress and the stockade. But thoughtful men can now detect a pitiful Odor of antiquation about these things, and they know that pass ports presently will be as dead as crinolines. Already the mind of the world everywhere is coming to be one Openable, if not open book: what is needed, as we shall see later, is readers of that book.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book unflinchingly delves into the institution of preaching, addressing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the practice in a rapidly evolving world. The author, a seasoned preacher with a keen eye for societal shifts, challenges the conventional focus on doctrines and theological exposition, arguing that preaching must prioritize the production of character and the fostering of love. Drawing on insights from history, philosophy, and the social sciences, the book presents a compelling case for the centrality of love as the ultimate aim of preaching. It explores various stimuli that can inspire and nurture love, including the example of Jesus Christ and the diverse wisdom found in different cultures. The work emphasizes the importance of deep individual reflection and the use of scientific knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of the message. By urging preachers to embrace a profound respect for humanity regardless of race or religion, the book provides a timely guide for navigating the complexities of the 21st century and making the message of love truly universal.
