Is the art of preaching dead? This book belongs to a series of books which intend to show that, far from being moribund, the tradition of preaching is alive and well. Included in this text are contemporary reflections on the themes of Christianity and conflict. They form the basis of these ten readings from John Bell, which include many issues of local and worldwide importance such as AIDS, God’s love, the nature of death, war, famine, fame and prayer.
