The Bible in the New York Times
Book •
In The Bible in the New York Times, Fleming Rutledge gathers sermons and essays that read Scripture alongside contemporary journalism and events to demonstrate how biblical themes continue to surface in modern life.
The book applies a Barth-inspired approach of holding the Bible and the newspaper together, aiming to show God's activity in history rather than merely offering topical relevance.
Rutledge uses current events to illuminate biblical storytelling and to encourage preaching that engages the present world.
The collection reflects her conviction that Scripture speaks into public life and that Christian proclamation should confront injustice and suffering.
It is written for clergy and lay readers interested in preaching, public theology, and cultural engagement.
