McLaughlin-Sheasby engages with how suffering shapes theological imagination, and the impact that the traumatic wounds of others has on preaching. McLaughlin-Sheasby uses the story of Job - a man whose life has been destroyed “for no reason,” as God admits in Job 2:3 - to develop an ‘enfleshed’ homiletic, which problematizes ‘God-talk’ in the presence of radical suffering. McLaughlin-Sheasby argues that what Job needs are friends who are willing to see his wounds and bear faithful witness—but that none of them are willing to transform their theological positions in order to speak truly about Job's situation.In Job 42:7, God affirms Job in his truth-telling, while scolding the friends for their refusal to speak truly. In this, McLaughlin-Sheasby finds a strong guiding principle for preachers: the capacity to speak truly of God is dependent upon the capacity to speak truly of the suffering of others. In other words, the degree to which preachers can faithfully speak of God in this world depends upon willingness to be confronted and transformed by the wounds of others. On this basis, McLaughlin-Sheasby proposes a theological and practical vision of preaching that is ethically responsive to those beyond the pulpit, asking the question: what does it look like for preachers to become faithful witnesses to the suffering of others?

Ronald J. Allen argues that the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to address specifically the gentiles in the congregation in Rome. Allen suggests that this was because the gentiles exhibited arrogant behavior towards Jewish members of the community, thereby undermining a primary facet of the early church — to witness to the community of love and mutual support that God seeks for all.Allen shows readers how Paul points the gentiles to the faithfulness of God, who invites them to recognize and live according to the grace of God, shown to them through Jesus Christ. In this pastorally engaged work, Allen not only provides historical commentary on Romans but also helps preachers and scholars make connections between arrogance and its destructiveness in communities today, as well as inviting congregations to participate in the grace that makes possible a loving and mutually respectful community.

Confederate monuments preach—at times subtly, at other times overtly—about who we are, who God is, and how we should live together. David M. Stark looks at the way many Confederate monuments provided ongoing opportunities for commemorative speeches and ceremonies that would entrench racist and white supremacist ideologies in the American South. Stark examines key speeches and proclamations given around monuments to the Lost Cause, such as Julian Carr's Silent Sam speech (1913), and Archer Anderson's speech at the dedication of a monument to Robert E. Lee (1890), reading these as theological and homiletic moments. Stark then moves on to construct a homiletic that can confront such monuments and the racist preaching ideologies around them.In developing this counter-homiletic, Stark analyzes the preaching strategies written into Confederate monuments and highlights best practices from recent counter-proclamations that deconstruct the troubling rhetoric and theology of Confederate monument dedication speeches. Finally, Stark presents insights from naming commission reports and clergy interviews about the values, mission, and leadership needed to work for ongoing change.

A ground-breaking exploration of the rhetorical structure behind early Christian sermons, revealing a form of preaching designed not to argue but to inspire. Robert Stephen Reid draws on the classical rhetorical tradition, especially the Rhetorica ad Herennium, to uncover the thesis-based strategy of expolitio, a method of topical reasoning used to elaborate themes and move listeners toward moral and spiritual transformation.Through detailed analysis of sermons in Acts, Hebrews, James, and 2 Clement, Reid demonstrates how early Christian preaching borrowed and adapted the Hellenistic synagogue’s “Word of Exhortation” format. Rather than relying on rational proofs, these sermons employed refined moral reasoning to stir faith and action. This volume challenges modern assumptions about sermon design and invites readers to reconsider the purpose and power of preaching.Ideal for scholars of homiletics, New Testament studies, and classical rhetoric, this volume also speaks to clergy and theological educators seeking deeper insight into the historical foundations of Christian proclamation. With its compelling argument and rich textual demonstrations, Preaching a Word of Exhortation reclaims the sermon's original intent: to move hearts, not merely to prove doctrines. It is a vital resource for anyone interested in the intersection of rhetoric, theology, and the enduring art of preaching.
