Whatever Happened to Delight? Preaching the Gospel in Poetry and Parables

Whatever Happened to Delight? Preaching the Gospel in Poetry and Parables.
By J. Barrie Shepherd. Westminster John Knox, 168 pp., $17.95 paperback.
Based on the Beecher Lectures delivered at Yale Divinity School in 2002, Shepherd's chapters are sprinkled liberally with poetry, including some citations of his own poems. For Shepherd, retired pastor of First Presbyterian Church in New York City, the sermon is an art form that participates in the original act of creation. What he finds often lacking in preaching is a sense of wonder and delight. The final chapter includes three of his own sermons.
