description: The third of Gerhard Fordes texts published in Lutheran Quarterly Books, The Preached God speaks directly to preachers, calling them to deliver the truths of forgiveness, life, and salvation to all who listen. It is an inspiring collection of lectures, essays, and sermons centering on the proclamation of the Gospel in word and sacrament. Closely tying preaching to theology and vice versa, this book argues that preaching itself is a sacrament, and is Gods election of the ungodly. This collection provides a window into the way that Forde taught others to do the kind of preaching in which God himself is done to hearers by word and sacrament. If, as Forde claimed, theology is for proclamation, here is a collection of theological thought on preaching that will challenge any to proclaim in faith and conviction.
