Contending that preachers have become silent on one of the major doctrinal themes of the Christian faith the meaning of the crucifixion and the cross as a theological symbol Sally Brown describes the nature and causes of this phenomenon and provides a strategy for reclaiming cross talk in the pulpit. Proposing a metaphorical and pastoral approach to preaching about the cross, Brown demonstrates how in doing so preachers will find in New Testament metaphors a far better model for how to talk about the cross today than in the atonement theories learned in seminary. She offers specific examples in sermons designed for particular homiletical occasions.
