"Preaching is best learned and improved when preachers receive excellent, supportive reflection on their lived experiences and sermons. For nearly ten years at Vanderbilt Divinity School a group of scholars and practicing preachers joined together to develop and hone several models of peer-group and individual coaching. In this book, they describe the key dimensions of ""collaborative coaching,"" a learner-centered approach to coaching that emphasizes covenant-building, deep spiritual curiosity, care-filled listening, ethical awareness, attention to bodies and places, parallel learning, careful sermon analysis, and the art of asking excellent questions. In the final section of the book, practitioners provide examples of this kind of coaching in practice."

Reviews for Learning Together to Preach

"""It's true, as the editors say, that 'preaching is more than a practice; it's a way of life.' With a coaching model honed over a decade, the contributors to this volume show us rich ways to foster reflection, accountability, and growth in the lives and practices of preachers. As a teacher of preaching and as someone who works with early career preachers, I am grateful for the wisdom of this book."" --Richard W. Volez, associate professor of preaching and worship, Union Presbyterian Seminary ""Preachers, have you accepted stasis? Or are you open to the exploration, growth, and renewal of your preaching identity and sermonic practices? This book invites preachers into a transformative space as the authors present the elements of homiletical peer-coaching. Be guided through best collaborative preaching practices that approach preaching as a way of life, attend to the specifics of your contexts and situations, and support your personal homiletical gifts. The fresh energy here is infectious."" --Jennifer L. Lord, professor of homiletics and liturgical studies, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary"
