Preaching To A Church In Crisi

Book Summary

This book is meant to underline the uniqueness of the present situation in 'mainline Protestantism, ' and perhaps the urgency of it, but not to sensationalize it. John Killinger makes the point that inasmuch as the mainline churches for so many years established the social and political norms in our country, as well as spiritual norms, any crisis in their existence becomes a major crisis in modern Christendom, and, by extension, in American life as a whole. Since mainline churches for so long established norms, any crisis in their existence becomes a major crisis in modern Christendom. Killinger positions the preacher to think about preaching and what its hallmarks must be in order to communicate effectively.
