This thesis explores preaching in the context of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), an American mainline Protestant denomination. The particular focus is on the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) using the metaphor of the church in exile in the midst of American culture. The methodology of research includes social-theological reflection on the place of the PC (USA) in the current culture, biblical reflection on the proclamations of 11 Isaiah, and interviews with PC (USA) clergy. The implication of this thesis is that most clergy are acutely aware of the shifts in American culture, the diminishing role of the church, and of the impact this has upon their congregations. These same clergy speak of preaching hope and trust in God to congregations they love and serve.

On the weekend of April 22, 2012 the St. Anne's Church website received thousands of visitors. That Sunday, in the New York Times Magazine, an article appeared about the Rev. Dr. Amy E. Richter competing in a physique competition. The strong reactions to the article got Richter and her husband and fellow clergyperson, the Rev. Dr. Joseph Pagano, thinking about the scandal of the Incarnation. The claim that God entered fully into our flesh-and-blood human existence makes some of us squeamish. And yet, this shocking claim is at the heart of the good news that in Christ God is with us no matter what. There is nothing that can happen to us--no pain, no humiliation, no anguish--that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. In sermons for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, Richter and Pagano proclaim the good news of the scandalous love of God in flesh and bone.

In this thoroughly revised edition of his classic work, James A. Sanders introduces the reader to canonical criticism. Tracking the various developments of biblical literature and their acceptance by the communities of faith, Sanders tackles the tough questions. He discusses the differences between the parts of the canon, the editing of the texts by later generations, the diversity of canons used in different communities, how the Dead Sea Scrolls raise new questions for canonicity, and the differences between how Jews and Christians have interacted with their canons. In addition to all the updates and revisions, Sanders provides a new introduction and bibliography.
