Walter Brueggemann, Stanley Hauerwas, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Will Willimon-four of America's most prominent preachers theologians address the growing uneasiness of today's Christians about sustaining old patterns of faith and life in a context where their most treasured symbols of faith are often mocked, trivialized, or dismissed. How do you preach to people who increasingly feel like 'exiles' in a society whose dominant values they find difficult to accept? What do u say to people whose structured, reliable world that once provided meaning and coherence seems to have disappeared? What words, images, stories can u use? What kind of language will be understood in this setting? the contributors deal with all of these questions and more.
