Description
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.
Reviews / Votes
Clayton Crockett, Associate Professor and Director of Religious Studies, University of Central Arkansas - How do you preach the death of God? In this powerful collection of sermons Chris Rodkey plunges deep into the tradition of radical Christianity from Tillich to Altizer to Rollins to fashion something entirely refreshing and new. These are personal, contemporary, and at the same time profoundly biblical sermons. Anyone who preaches the Gospel and still has a spark of intellectual curiosity will want to read this book.,
