Overview

Proverbs abound in contemporary culture and in biblical texts. But surprisingly, the use of proverbial wisdom is conspicuously absent in the contemporary pulpit. Alyce McKenzie offers preachers an effective way to reclaim proverbs in preaching, highlights their usefulness in contemporary situations, and demonstrates their ability to confirm (or subvert) the status quo.

Synopsis

Proverbs, both biblical and contemporary, offer effective toos for conveying messages with impact. Alyce McKenzie shows how to reclaim these powerful tools for today's pulpit.
