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.
