The call to holistic preaching has many dimensions. Are we called to preach the good news of God's grace? Advocate for justice? Is preaching worship? A prophetic act? "Yes," Jennifer Ackerman answers--to all of the above. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and concrete advice, readers will learn how to join gospel and justice in community. Ackerman draws on her experience as a practitioner, teacher, and director of Brehm Preaching--A Lloyd John Ogilvie Initiative at Fuller Theological Seminary to provide concrete tools for readers seeking to develop their capacity for preaching with a relational focus. Ackerman helps us think about preaching through the lenses of community, justice, worship, and prophecy. The work of the church is work best done together, both within congregations and as ministers connect with fellow practitioners. Grounded in Scripture, with tangible resources and exemplar sermons, Preaching the Gospel of Justice is a hands-on tool for translating theory into practice.
An instant New York Times bestseller! A New York Times Notable Book of 2023 Named a Best Book of 2023 by Publishers Weekly From the author of The Genius of Birds and The Bird Way, a brilliant scientific investigation into owls—the most elusive of birds—and why they exert such a hold on human imagination With their forward gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Some two hundred sixty species of owls exist today, and they reside on every continent except Antarctica, but they are far more difficult to find and study than other birds because they are cryptic, camouflaged, and mostly active at night. Though human fascination with owls goes back centuries, scientists have only recently begun to understand the complex nature of these extraordinary birds. In What an Owl Knows, Jennifer Ackerman joins scientists in the field and explores how researchers are using modern technology and tools to learn how owls communicate, hunt, court, mate, raise their young, and move about from season to season. Ackerman brings this research alive with her own personal field observations; the result is an awe-inspiring exploration of owls across the globe and through human history, and a spellbinding account of the world’s most enigmatic group of birds.
»Großartig und faszinierend: eine neue Sicht auf die Vögel.« Sy Montgomery Neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse über unsere Vögel stellen vieles auf den Kopf, was wir von ihnen dachten. Wir wissen nun mehr darüber, wie sie leben, denken und agieren. Vögel können vieles, was wir vom Menschen kennen: Täuschung, Manipulation, Entführung etwa, aber auch kluge Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit, Altruismus, Spiel. Manche Vögel machen Geschenke, manche stehlen, einige tanzen, trommeln oder malen gar. Gestützt auf eigene Beobachtungen und ornithologische Studien rund um den Globus erzählt Jennifer Ackerman von der unfassbaren Vielfalt des gefiederten Universums, in dem es stets neue Entdeckungen gibt ‒ und das in ungeahnter Weise durch die Klimakrise gefährdet ist.
