Embodying Grace: Proclaiming Justification in the Real World

Convinced that it is precisely among those whom society regards as "expendable" that God's grace may be experienced as abundant, the authors join their expertise in liturgy, homiletics, and pastoral care with their commitment to the poor and marginalized around us and clear-sighted analyses of our present cultural situation, including increasing violence and the commodification of human life. They illustrate their argument with preaching events as words-on-target in particular contexts of need. The result is a compelling new understanding of one of the church's most important teachings.
