This engaging volume contains several of Oates's sermons and prayers. Tuck skillfully and accurately describes Oates's approach to and beliefs about preaching as addressing the deepest needs of our personal and congregational lives. Then he summarizes his assumptions about the task of preaching. While this book does pay tribute to Oates, it primarily focuses on much-needed wisdom for contemporary clerics.
The selection of sermons speaks to current issues facing today's serious seeker of mature faith for authentic living. Topics range from rootlessness of displaced persons, pursuing authenticity in identity, facing temptations, struggling with lust, and addressing a multitude of existential concerns. He speaks to matters of conflict, despair, and meaninglessness. These powerful messages grow from serious biblical deliberation, reflect sound theological reflection, and make creative use of great literature.
