De la contraportada

"This may be the best book ever published on the week-in, week-out content of ordinary sermons. The heart ofAll Is Forgiven--a splendid close reading of forty-seven sermons on the Prodigal Son by Baptist and Presbyterian ministers--tells us more about ordinary religious speech in Protestant churches than any previous study."--Mark Noll, Wheaton College

"Marsha Witten has written a stunning analysis of what contemporary Christians hear when they go to church. She shows the power and the complexity of religious speech but also how it succumbs to the secular society. This is a major achievement."--Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University
