Sermons of Arthur C. McGill

"Art McGill was crucial for sustaining the integrity of Christian theology at a time when few cared whether theology survived or not. We are fortunate to have his sermons to exemplify this man's profound commitment to the Christian theological task."

--Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School



"Quite a few of us remember with appreciation and affection the teaching ministry of Arthur Chute McGill when he was at Harvard. His death still saddens us, but how fortunate we are to have this volume of sermons. Now another generation may share in the stimulating pleasure of McGill's mind and heart."

--Peter J. Gomes

Harvard University



"McGill meets the issues of his day head-on without apology. But he always takes his cue from the text, letting the chosen scripture set the sermon's agenda and determine the emotional terrain it will traverse. As a result, McGill's sermons remain fresh and timely. David Cain has done us a great service in making them available to a new audience in a similarly troubled time."
