David Grubbs moderates a conversation with Michial Farmer and Nathan Gilmour about the history and genre of the sermon. Beginning with Biblical examples and moving into the patristic and medieval periods, the conversation involves both sermon-speakers and sermon-hearers as we discuss what happens when a sermon gets preached. Among the texts, preachers, and other realities discussed are "A Divine and Supernatural Light," John Chrysostom, Launcelot Andrews, revision, and the lectionary.
