William Sloane Coffin has fought for social justice and argued that
faith must be at the heart of political and intellectual life. This
is a collection of his most memorable words, spoken over a 40-year
ministry. They are not sermons - the longest quotation is probably
300-400 words - but rather sentences and paragraphs that reflect
the heart of his message. It is arecord of his remarkable public
words on issues ranging from charity and justice, politics,
economic issues, the environment and nuclear disarmament, to the
meaning of faith, the church and a minister's responsibility.
Comprising the sermons preached by William Sloane Coffin while he
was senior minister at the prestigious Riverside Church in New York
City, The Collected Sermons of William Sloane Coffin: The Riverside
Years captures the renowned preacher and social activist at work:
ministering to American hostages in Iran, supporting AIDS
awareness, and rallying his audiences to battle poverty and nuclear
proliferation--all the while celebrating marriages, baptisms, and
Mother's Days and mourning the loss of loved ones, including his
own son. In each of these brilliant and painstakingly crafted
sermons, Coffin combined his deep love of Scripture and passionate
commitment to peace and justice with his unparalleled gift for the
spoken word. While also revealing the personal and pastoral
dimensions of his ministry, each sermon provides a powerful example
of Coffin's well-accomplished mission: to challenge the conscience
of a nation.
