Hope Beneath the Surface: Sermons for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany: First Lesson: Cycle a

On these pages one encounters the moving image of the holy God with Isaiah in the temple, the powerful call to justice through the thundering voice of Amos, the depth of despair in the heart of Jeremiah, and the struggle for faithfulness in the prophetic work of Hosea, Elijah, and others.
"Underlying every page is the presence of Jesus of Nazareth, who is constantly uppermost as each sermon unfolds. Robinson's writing, like his preaching, reveals a person who is in close touch with the common ventures of life. More significantly he is in touch with the common people of the working, playing, and suffering worlds. And he is in touch with the verities of the Christian faith."
