William H. Willimon
Willimon writes with passion about the dynamics and implications of preaching to a congregation, to those who, having been called, are either baptized or yet to be baptized. The preacher, says Willimon, needs to address the people in a congregation with 'peculiar speech,' letting the biblical text call them to live a transformed life in keeping with their baptism. Within the book appear three powerful baptismal sermons-'The Invitation,' 'Divine divestment,' and 'The New Family.' 3
