Preaching in the Purple Zone is a resource for helping the church
understand the challenges facing parish pastors, while encouraging
and equipping preachers to address the vital justice issues of our
time.This book provides practical instruction for navigating the
hazards of prophetic preaching with tested strategies and prudent
tactics grounded in biblical and theological foundations. Key to
this endeavor is using a method of civil discourse called
"deliberative dialogue" for finding common values among politically
diverse parishioners. Unique to this book is instruction on using
the sermon-dialogue-sermon process developed by the author that
expands the pastor's level of engagement on justice issues with
parishioners beyond the single sermon. Preaching in the Purple Zone
equips clergy to help their congregations respectfully engage in
deliberation about "hot topics," find the values that bind them
together, and respond faithfully to God's Word.
