The List

No sermon text, as Pastor Luke went off the cuff. His sermon was based on a sermon by Dr. Fred Craddock, When the Rolls is Called Down Here.

Dr. Fred B. Craddock was the Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching and New Testament, Emeritus, in the Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, GA. An ordained minister of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Dr. Craddock has served pastorates in Tennessee and Oklahoma. Reported in Newsweek as one of America’s top preachers at his time, Dr. Craddock, reared in rural Tennessee, speaks the folk idiom with prophetic authenticity. Dr. Craddock has written a number of books, including The Pre-Existence of Christ (1968), As One Without Authority (1971, rev. 1974 and 1979), 0verhearing the Gospel (1978), The Gospels (1981), commentaries on John (1982) and Philippians (1984), Preaching (1985), and a commentary on Luke (1990) as well as the seminal Craddock on the Craft of Preaching (2011).
