“Fr. Michael Connors’ latest contribution to homiletic practice, Preaching in the Light of the Word, is especially welcome now: it marshals a significant range of essays by experts who expand our capacity to voice God’s Word with the largesse of the imagination for a broken and polarized world. The authors invite us into a new hearing of the Scripture, perhaps bigger and more vibrant than we thought possible — a glimpse of the kingdom to come.”
— Fr. Guerric DeBona, osb Professor of Homiletics St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology

“A critical question in homiletics is how to pivot from exegesis of the text to preaching an encounter with Christ. Spoiler alert: there are no easy answers! However, this resource wrestles with these questions in a variety of thoughtprovoking ways, including rich conversations centered on expanding the voices in the pulpit to include lay preachers. As this book so beautifully illustrates, blessings and opportunities emerge whenever we dare to ask difficult questions. This deep dive into the ways Scripture inspires preaching belongs on the desk of all who preach, proclaim, and form people in the Word.”
