Description: Crossover Preaching proposes a way forward through conversation with the "dean of the nation's black preachers," Gardner C. Taylor, former senior pastor of Concord Baptist Church in Brooklyn, NY. Jared E. Alcantara argues that an analysis of Taylor's preaching reveals an improvisational-intercultural approach that demonstrates his enduring significance and equips churches and seminaries for the future.
