Thomas B.
Peake, Jr.
About Unmuzzling the Dogma
Paperback, 6x9, $12.95
When I was in seminary, one of the professors
said, "Always make your messages
understandable to the people in the pews; but,
once a year, preach a message that is 'over their
heads' just to show them that you can."
Somehow, I was never able to give a message
"over their heads." As a result, I concentrated on
the "make it understandable" part. The essays
and sermon adap-tations that follow are a part of
my attempts to make things a little more
understandable. Hence, my efforts at
"unmuzzling the dogma".
