"""Politics in the Pulpit is wisdom for the pastor/preacher of today drawn from the experience of a wise pastor/preacher of yesterday. Eric Ayala's skillful exegesis of John Chrysostom's Homilies of the Statutes better equips the reader with skills to address political issues from the pulpit while also better educating the reader with understanding in order to lead a local congregation through such issues."" --Jeff Stanfill, pastor, Covenant Church ""How do preachers find the 'intersection of responsible preaching and public discourse'? Eric Ayala helps the preacher look backward to find a way forward. In Politics and the Pulpit, Ayala analyzes a famous sermon series of John Chrysostom, the Homilies on the Statues. Ayala offers clear perspective on the context and rhetorical purpose of the sermons and then provides insightful principles for contemporary preachers seeking to navigate the perilous political landscape."" --Kristopher K. Barnett, academic dean, Clamp Divinity School"
