Summary:

We hear plenty of discussion about missional theology, missional leadership and missional church planting. But what about missional <em>preaching</em>? In this groundbreaking work, Patrick W. T. Johnson develops a new missional homiletic to aid preachers in their witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ in this post-Christendom world.
