Liturgy and Communicative Ethics

by John S. McClure ...

Ours is a time of unprecedented pessimism regarding the possibility of achieving consensus around moral issues. Christian liturgical practices, which are grounded in a communicative economy of love and mercy, contain wisdom that might be of significant help. What difference might it make if we confessed sin (learned epistemic humility, worked at overcoming self-deception), interceded for others ... Read more

Different ethical situations require different homiletical responses. John McClure organizes recent literature on ethics and preaching into four ethical approaches.

An Aesthetic Homiletic for the Twenty-first Century

Postsecular Fiction in the Age of Pynchon and Morrison

by John A. McClure ...

Spiritual conversions figure heavily in such novels as Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, Toni Morrison’s Paradise, and Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine. What connects such varied works is that their convert-characters are disenchanted with secularism yet apprehensive of dogmatic religiosity.

The Church as Community of Conversation in a Conflicted and Pluralistic World

Edited by Ronald J. Allen, John S. McClure, O. Wesley Allen Jr. ...

Two trends in the early twenty-first-century intersect to give this volume immediate relevance: 1) The emerging postmodern ethos in North America is calling into question many things we have taken for granted, including the purposes of the church; and 2) our time is increasingly fractious as groups with distinct worldviews become polarized and often antagonistic.

Reflective Online, Hybrid, and In-Person Preaching in a Digital Age

by Casey T. Sigmon ...

In 2020, most preachers and congregations were forced into online and hybrid preaching. We had to react quickly. For some, this adventure opened creative forms of preaching--stitches, duets, reels, and VR. For others, it was a season of just getting by--cell phones propped up on books, laptops on dining room tables. We did what we could to proclaim the good news in turbulent times. Five years ...
