Too Good to be True: Radical Christian Preaching, Year A

by Christopher D. Rodkey, Peter Rollins (Foreword), Thomas J.J. Altizer (Afterword)

With a foreword by Peter Rollins and an afterword by Thomas J. J. Altizer, Too Good to be True is a collection of sermons written and preached from a radical theology perspective, which demonstrate preaching in a post-Christendom, post-'God' world. These sermons were actually preached in a mainline church in the US. The sermons follow the liturgical and lectionary year A, so clergy may use the books for their own preaching and easily reference it in their professional work.

About the author

Pastor of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Dallastown, PA.

As a pastor, I'm interested in contemporary models and understandings of being church in a post-Christendom world and engaging those marginalized by the church and by society with a radical understanding of Christianity and a life of service.

Reviews

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really strong proof of concept for preaching from a death of God stance. Lots of really good stuff that stuck with me. Recommended.

Some of the best sermons I've ever read.
