The God of the Dangerous Sermon

More about the book

Exploring the relationship between theology and the divine figure it represents, this book emphasizes the importance of understanding the god behind a preacher's message. It distinguishes between a universal God, as seen in Christian faith, and a tribal god that may masquerade as Christianity. Frank A. Thomas guides readers in identifying these divine influences, providing tools to analyze metaphors, symbols, and rhetoric in sermons. This insight aims to enhance the integrity and effectiveness of preaching, fostering a deeper connection to the true nature of faith.
