Explores the relationship between theology and preaching by
examining the careers of four enormously influential,
twentieth-century New York preachers (Harry Emerson Fosdick, George
Buttrick, Paul Scherer, and Ralph Sockman), whose sermons reached
the leaders in culture, commerce, and government across the United
States. It examines these preachers' pulpit theology in its social,
cultural, political, economic and demographic context as well as
their doctrine and the theological legacy they bequeathed. Sundays
in New York will be of interest to historians, theologians,
students, and practitioners of ministry.
In Ordained Ministry in The United Methodist Church, author William
B. Lawrence gives us a gift in this history of ordination in the
Methodist tradition. From our beginnings, ordination has always
been about the community. The community confirms one's call, helps
him/her make decisions about preparation for ministry, and shares
in the supervision and ongoing evaluation of the ordained.
Ordination is a communal affirmation for the common good. Dr.
Lawrence challenges us to look outside the church to the needs of
the whole world as we make decisions about who will be ordained and
how they will live out ordination.
The title of this volume is as old as the Wesleyan movement and apt
for the very latest Methodist theological self-designation.Marks of
Methodism points back to John Wesley himself and to his efforts to
define the movement.Such marks or hallmarks prescribe a basis for
Methodist identity, purpose, and unity.They also serve to
differentiate Methodists from other Christians, to sketch the
boundaries of our movement, and to mark us off.Marks also invite
attention to the conjunction of precept and practice, to the
considerable recent affirmation of practices as the traditioning
and corporate bearers of Christian faithfulness and witness; and
therefore as the ground of theology and doctrine, and to Methodist
embodiment of and featuring of traditioning practices long before
that became fashionable. These marks point to an understanding of
church, a doctrine of the church, an ecclesiology, embedded in the
everyday structures, policies, organizations, and patterns of
Methodist life."
