Thanks to the generosity of the Lilly Endowment and Calvin Theological Seminary, I get to lead a cohort of preachers this year interested in improving our craft.
Here’s the list of books we’ll be reading, in case you are interested:
Preaching Gospel, Essays in Honor of Richard Lischer, edited by Charles Campbell, et al.
Stumbling Over the Cross: Preaching the Cross and Resurrection Today by Sancken and Wilson
Giving Blood: A Fresh Paradigm for Preaching by Leonard Sweet
Classical Rhetoric and Its Christian and Secular Tradition from Ancient to Modern Times by George A. Kennedy
Rhetoric by Aristotle
Preaching: Communicating Faith in an Age of Skepticism by Timothy Keller
Communicating for a Change by Andy Stanley
Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Improvisation Manual
P.S. I’m hosting a new workshop to help preachers engage their hearers without being too tied to their manuscripts. You can read more about it here.
