Summary

The Theologian as Preacher is a collection of sermons by a world-renowned theologian who was also a much loved preacher. Following on from the success of Colin Gunton's first collection, Theology Through Preaching (T&T Clark, 2001), these sermons from the later years of his life demonstrate Gunton's preaching in a local-church setting, enabling readers to gain insight into how his academic theology enhanced and influenced his personal preaching. Ranging across such subjects as the problem of evil, Christianity and Islam, materialism and Judgement, they speak not only to academic theologians and students, but also to preachers and Christian readers everywhere.
