Description: In the decade after 9/11, Rev. Seth Kaper-Dale did
what preachers were doing all across America--he entered the pulpit
and tried to claim Jesus Christ as the risen one who is ushering in
a renewed and restored kingdom, even as it seemed that so many
nations and special interest groups were claiming power and
authority. Over the course of a decade many of the sermons directly
addressed the great issues through reflection on the biblical
narrative. Sometimes that interaction resulted in the congregation
being moved by faith to enter the fray and to address issues such
as war, natural disasters, sexual orientation, economic disparity,
immigration reform, interfaith matters, and ecological disaster. In
short, when the Bible met the big issues in congregational space
and time, the church was transformed in Spirit and made ready for
real action. In thirty-four sermons that go from pre-emptive war to
the Arab Spring, Seth insists that nothing that happens in real
history lies outside the realm of theological reflection, and that
there is nothing a congregation cannot delve into once it has seen
why the particular kingdom message of Jesus Christ is stronger than
any other power.
