The Whispered Word: A Theology of Preaching

by Marjorie Suchocki

Suchocki explores the art and practice of proclamation through the lens of process thought. In a fresh interpretation of the concept of "being made present", Suchocki shows us how the encompassing whisper that is God's presence in us and around us becomes a shout in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ -- and how preaching is the extension of Christ's incarnation into our time.

A beautiful description of preaching. Suchocki's writing is at times almost poetic.

The first chapter, "The Whispered Word," stands alone as an excellent description of God's word calling us. This one essay would be a gentle introduction to Process Theology.

I loved this book. Marjorie brought me to a place where I prayed that my preaching ministry would continue while I have breath. What a privilege we have, as preachers, to help hearers be in tune with the continuous and deep whispered word of God.
