The prophet Joel promises that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Joel 2:32). But Paul then asks: “How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10:14–15). With Lutheran Preaching? Matthew Harrison and John Pless assemble exceptional essays that unpack these questions within our rich Lutheran heritage and offer preachers encouragement and confessional perspective for proclaiming God’s Law and Gospel today.

Jesus gives us preachers to proclaim both God’s Law which kills and His Gospel which raises to life. But far too many pulpits have reduced proclamation to therapeutic morality lectures in which the pastors serve as spiritual hospice workers, leaving people comfortable in their sins while they are dying. Lutheran Preaching? frees us from the bondage of such so-called sermons. Harrison and Pless have given us a vital collection of essays that impress upon pastors the joyful weight of their task while setting them free to placard Christ crucified before His beloved church. This book is a true gift!

This is a gold mine for preachers as we continuously seek to be faithful to the task entrusted by the Lord: to preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins in His name to all nations (see Luke 24:47). The editors have carefully chosen insightful essays . . . so that timeless and necessary homiletical wisdom can be gained for the ever-changing preaching context. This is a collection of essays to return to.
