This little collection of occasional pieces is offered as a set of discussion openers ('ice-breakers') for those who are preparing for ministry in the Northeast. The intended audience for this selection of provocations would begin with first and second year seminarians. Candidates for ministry and those considering ministry later in life might find some comfort here, too. In addition, one might hope that those who have weathered a few winters in the pulpit could find some catalytic inspiration here.

Endorsements: ""Here is the work of an exceptional preacher and teacher who weaves together hard-won insights from years of study and writing. The sermons are a treasure and the lectures are filled with careful scholarship. . . . Hill leads us to a vista that sees beyond previous limited categories of analysis. He joins the earliest witnesses in suggesting this gospel is given so we might believe and have life."" --Philip A. Amerson, President, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary ""In a series of striking sermons Hill models the hermeneutics of preaching from John for our situation. The sermons alone are worth the price of the book. It is an extraordinary resource for those who want to preach on John, listen to sermons on John, read the text, or teach students about John."" --Robert Cummings Neville, Professor of Philosophy, Religion, and Theology, Boston University

An Addressable Community

Wipf and Stock

This collection of theological essays, spiritual meditations, public prayers, and biblical interpretations provides a focus, day by day, for contemplation and reflection. By intention they are offered in media res, in the midst of the cacophony and chaos of life and particularly of academic life. These pages are markings along the journey, on the trail, and thus perhaps signposts for others coming along the same way. To some degree, the collection responds to similar, recent publication of 200-word daily selections from the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The assembly of materials revisits a favorite form of an earlier Dean of Marsh Chapel, Howard Thurman. Thurman easily and regularly captured thought and feeling in an assortment of forms--prayer, sermon, hymn, poem, litany, sermon--and worried very little about repetitions or the jostling inherent in formal variety. Charles River follows after these and similar works, and is offered as a daily resource for those receiving and offering, the divine grace of freedom, acceptance, forgiveness, pardon, and love.
