About the book

In Midrashic Imagination: Texts and Textures for Pulpit and Pew, Elisabeth R. Jones argues for an approach to preaching that facilitates holy inspiration, transformational discipleship, and faithful public witness. Jones draws on ancient and contemporary interpretive practices that privilege curiosity, open-ended questioning, and faithful imagination.

This book is a good fit for preachers focused on the sacred connection between the lively Word of God in Scripture and today’s cultural landscape, spiritual longings, hopes, and fears.
