Although the minor prophets are most closely associated with issues of social justice, Charles Aaron demonstrates that they address many kinds of issues facing today's Christians, including modern-day idolatry, pastoral care, intercession, evangelism, and christology. For each of these three prophets, Aaron provides a brief introduction designed to help the preacher get into the books quickly. He explores selected texts, providing a detailed exegesis and discussion of the problems and possibilities in preaching from the text, the use of metaphors by the prophets, and how the final redaction of the books influence our theology and preaching. For each text discussed Aaron offers at least two sermons, one preached by Aaron and the other or others from pastors and professors from the United States and Canada. Contributors are Timothy K. Bruster, Page L. D. Creach, Ann I. Hoch, Virgil P. Howard, David Schnasa Jacobsen, Alyce M. McKenzie, A. Carter Shelley, and William C. Turner.

The moving accounts of Jesus? power to cast out demons and heal physical ailments are compelling preaching texts ? but they also present a tangle of problems. This book helps you negotiate a homiletic minefield with a detailed exploration of eleven miracle narratives appearing in Cycle B. It's packed with stimulating ideas and illustrations for developing dynamic sermons, including a chapter with numerous examples of contemporary miracles and healings. ?This is an admirable example of pastoral theology at its best. Aaron's discussions of the historical background and theological significance of each text are thoroughly informed and articulate. Equally helpful are the insights he brings to the understanding of the pastoral implications of each text and the strategies appropriate to preaching the text.? ? David Bartlett, Yale Divinity School
