If there is, it might be a theological bent toward resurrection. But you will see lots of death in these sermons. Lots. I hope you will also see glimpses of seriously imaginable resurrection. What does it mean to preach resurrection in a society where death seems as if it is the only game in town? \"Preaching resurrection is not just for Easter anymore,\" writes Brian Blount. \"We must find a way to image  resurrection], to affirm our expectation for it, and to find ways to recast it in contemporary symbolism that connects with our contemporary age. Probably without realizing it in a deliberate way, I have sought to tap into the resurrection imagination as a form of living defiance, joyfully existing and testifying in the space of death dealing powers. I preach poetically, but I also aim to \"clothe\" our experience of resurrection with recognizable garments from our social, emotional, and political lives. Look for the ordinary bush -- and \u003cem\u003ealmost\u003c\/em\u003e commonplace people -- alight with holy fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42104873320583,"sku":"9781949888867","price":20.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/2a4d1e53b7149db47e49ca237b0b260a.webp?v=1732428899","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/city-preaching-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
