The death of a child or youth, perhaps more than any other event in
life, signals to us that our world is broken. These premature
deaths supremely test our faith.
"This Incomplete One," edited by Michael D. Bush, features
sixteen extraordinary sermons from preachers wrestling with the
deaths of children and young adults. The preachers here include
classic theologians -- Jonathan Edwards, Friedrich Schleiermacher,
and Karl Barth -- and select modern preachers. Two especially
noteworthy features are a thoughtful foreword by Nicholas
Wolterstorff, author of "Lament for a Son," and the first English
translation of the profound sermon preached by Karl Barth at the
memorial service for his own son, Matthias.
In the midst of immense grief and suffering, "This Incomplete
One" speaks forth words of quiet hope and comfort. ""Even if we
cannot rejoice ourselves, we still hear an entirely different voice
rejoice. . . . This voice speaks about the completion of even this
incomplete one, about his completion as God's servant brought about
through death. It speaks about peace and joy and life to the
fullest.""
