'Parental Guidance Advised' presents the Old Testament as a humorous, bawdy, dynamic, and enriching collection of sacred literature hammered out over centuries of wrestling with the divine-human relationship. It depicts the Old Testament not as a series of saints in action but as real-life stories of sinners who somehow, despite themselves, become protagonists in God's plot of salvation. Drawing from all three years of the lectionary and from many non-lectionary texts, 'Parental Guidance Advised' offers profound and provocative sermons that honor the depth and complexity of both the Bible and everyday life.
