Inspired by the heritage of African-American churches, Mark
Ellingsen has created innovative, visionary sermons on Old
Testament texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. His messages
reflect his unique vantage point as a Lutheran of Norwegian
heritage teaching at a historically black seminary, and they are a
model for anyone who wants to learn how to relate the Bible to the
cutting-edge social issues of our day. Ellingsen suggests that many
American Christians have abdicated their responsibility to advocate
justice in our society or to talk about what the gospel can do in
our lives and society as a whole from Monday through Saturday.
Ellingsen believes these Old Testament texts are relevant to our
contemporary lives. An all-too-common view of many Christians is
look to the New Testament to find the liberating word of God, while
viewing the Old Testament as being about the law and the confining
demands of tradition. But Ellingsen says that the history of
Christianity proves this is not true. He observes that Martin
Luther was primarily an Old Testament scholar, and that
African-American churches have based many of their traditions of
liberation on Old Testament stories and prophetic traditions.
"Mark Ellingsen's offering of sermons based on Old Testament texts
reflects his usual thorough biblical scholarship and his readable,
down-to-earth style that consistently render his material useful to
both scholars and those seeking the inspiration of a faithful
Christian."
Richard H. Stough, Publisher

Mark Ellingsen has had a rich and varied career as a parish pastor
and a seminary professor. In addition to serving several Lutheran
congregations in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, he has held
teaching positions at Luther-Northwestern Seminary and the
Institute for Ecumenical Research in Strasbourg, France. Ellingsen
currently is on the faculty of the Interdenominational Theological
Center in Atlanta, the largest historic African-American seminary
in the United States. A regular contributor to several homiletics
periodicals, Ellingsen is also the author of ten books, some of
which have been used as homiletics texts in many American and
Canadian seminaries.
