Hardback. Condición: Good.

Paperback. Condición: Good. For decades, millions of Christians have been leaving church behind. Among those who have stayed, not only individuals, but entire congregations are rejecting traditions that fail to address the challenges of our contemporary world. They yearn, instead, for a profound relationship with the ever-present God who is loving, inclusive, persuasive, and uncontrolling.This rich and diverse collection of sermons, essays, and worship elements explores how to preach, teach, and practice Open, Relational, and Process theological perspectives in local faith communities. It is a powerful resource for pastors, ministers of worship arts, lay church leaders, professors of preaching, worship, and practical theology, and anyone seeking a deep understanding of God that aligns with the Bible, science, and inclusive love and justice for all life on Earth.Endorsements for Preaching the Uncontrolling Love of GodJust about everyone knows that large numbers of people-especially younger and more educated people-are dropping out of church. To stop this trend, some focus on hot music or cool graphics or casual dress or catering to what people want politically.

I'm thrilled to have a preaching book to recommend without hesitation!- Tripp Fuller, host of Homebrewed ChristianityFor far too long, classic Christianity has held to a view of God as unchanging and the nature of God's interaction with the world as controlling. Scripture presents God as creative and responsive, however, intentional, initiating, and influenceable-a God who works in partnership with humans. This book demonstrates through the preaching of Scripture that God's good, loving, dynamic power operates in process with the freedom of others. God takes risks that may lead to evil and suffering, as well as to the righteous work of cooperative partners. - Karen Strand Winslow, author of Imagining Equity: The Gifts of Christian Feminist Theology.…
