This is one of the best new books in preaching I've read in a while. Travis offers what she calls a homiletic ecclesiology, but even that description does not really do her book full justice. She is envisioning a gospel-up transformation of the mainline Protestant church in North America and a new, more porous identity for its life after Christendom. I will be using her book in my courses and in my own preaching, too. --David Schnasa Jacobsen, Boston University School of Theology Sarah Travis envisions what preaching must become as the institutional church declines. Her provocative ideas are timely starters for a much-needed discussion. She calls for a confident and joyful exit from the empire of Christendom as a flawed form of Christianity. Preaching can lead the way by offering narratives of vulnerability, rooted in God's promises, and centered in the gospel. Such preaching, with the Spirit's help, will transform current fear and despair into faithful witness for a new age.
