Preachers increasingly see the need to deliver sermons that are"dangerous" in a variety of ways: the way they challenge hearers'comfort levels and challenge established powers and hierarchies. Author Frank Thomashelps readers understand those dangers-especially the forces of powerand hierarchy that are so intrinsic in our everyday lives and in societyas a whole. He teaches how to anticipate and navigate those forces, toopen opportunities for dangerous preaching, and to mitigate negativeimpact on congregants, the preacher, and the preacher-congregationrelationships.Surviving a Dangerous Sermon is a logical follow-up to Thomas's previous book, How to Preach a Dangerous Sermon.It equips preachers to say what must be said, in a way that it isheard, so that the sermon has a chance to do its work on human hearts,without negative consequences.
