| Description: | Includes index. Contents: The oddness of God -- Karl Barth and election -- The vocation of the elect -- Called for mission -- The witness of preaching -- Preaching as public truth -- Homiletical implications of election. "In this rich study, Willimon emerges not only as an insightful (or is it inciteful?) preacher but also as one of the foremost theologians of preaching. Looking through the keyhole of Barth's theology of election, he sees the whole glorious world of Israel, the church, and our calling to be followers of Jesus. Although this in not a how-to-do-it book, Willimon's congenital habit of telling the truth provides the best preaching model of all." Richard Lischer |
