Afternoon Sermon: 26 April 2005

Dr. Taussig has taught graduate New Testament Studies and pastored progressive United Methodist churches for the past two decades, as well as at Union for the past seven years. He is now entering his second three year appointment here at Union and we're blessed and honored by his presence.

Additionally his books include "The Progressive Church at the Grassroots in America", "Jesus Before God: The Prayer Life of the Historical Jesus;" and the upcoming "What It Is and Where to Find It". This is in addition to many other works which he has penned in collaboration with other reknowned scholars and theologians.

Dr. Taussig is co-editor of "Constellation: Thinking Progressively About Christianity," an online journal associated with the Center for Progressive Christianity. He is also a founding member of the Jesus Seminar and currently a member of the steering committee of the Acts Seminar of the Westar Institute.
