Those who have heard Clarence Jordan speak will once again be moved by the power and conviction of his words when they read this volume. Those who never heard him will welcome this chance to meet him. Here is Clarence Jordan at his best: the biting irony that pierced sham and pretense, the flashing wit that could illuminate as it delighted, the blazing concern that knew how to lay its burden on the heart of even the casual listener, the depth of spirit that saw fresh meaning in the most familiar passage of Scripture.

The Substance of Faith, and Other Cotton Patch Sermons (A Koinonia Publication)

The Cotton Patch Version of Hebrews and the General Epistles

The Cotton Patch Gospel recasts the stories of Jesus and the letters of Paul and Peter into the language of the mid-20th century South. Born out of the Civil Rights struggle, these now classic translations of much of the New Testament bring the far-away places of Scipture closer to home: Gainesville, Selma, Birmingham, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. As Jordan once wrote, "While there have been many excellent translations of the Scriptures into modern English, they still have left us stranded in the long-distant past. We need to have the good news come to us not only in our own tongue but in our own time. We want to be participants in the faith, not merely spectators."
