520			_a"How to Preach a Dangerous Sermon helps preachers respond to trying times--at any time. Author, scholar, and renowned preacher Frank Thomas lays out a new framework for sermons based upon the four characteristics of a moral imagination. Thomas walks you through the concepts of moral imagination and diabolic imagination, setting a new foundation for prophetic preaching. He then examines speeches and sermons from Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Prathia L. Hall, as well as a sermon of his own, and demonstrates how the four characteristics are at work. You will learn to understand your own moral imagination and utilize it intrinsically in your preaching to challenge and bring hope."--Page [4] of cover.
