Willimon writes with passion about the dynamics and implications of preaching to a congregation; to those who; having been called; are either baptized or yet to be baptized. The preacher; says Willimon; needs to address the people in a congregation with "peculiar speech;" letting the biblical text call them to live a transformed life in keeping with their baptism. Within the book appear three powerful baptismal sermons- "The Invitation;" "Divine divestment;" and "The New Family."

My new Bible for all things "The Wire" Excellent resource - Loved the glossaryBy Sedona CotaMy new Bible for all things "The Wire" Excellent resource - Loved the glossary. wish I had it before watching the series. So glad this book was written. made even my TV hating mom take note of it and watch an episode with me! Further helped me appreciate this show and if I live long enough to watch it again. Ill so be enjoying the guides and information. Well Done! One of the first things I learned here was that Obama said this was his favorite show. back when he was running in 2008. Gutsy move Mr. President! Great factoid. Still savoring this 500 page book. and will be for some time.
