To read 'The Substance of Faith' is once again to experience Clarence Jordan at his best: the flashing wit that could illuminate even as it entertained, the blazing concern that knew how to lay its burden on the heart of even the casual listener, the biting irony that pierced sham and pretense, the depth of spirit that saw fresh meaning in the most familiar passage of Scripture. Within the pages of this book, you'll discover the basic themes of Clarence Jordan's life: Incarnational Evangelism, the God Movement, and his prophetic insight into the enemies of authentic faith, such as Mammon.

These sermons were given in rural Georgia back in the 1940's through 1960's. Clarence Jordan was the founder of Koinonia Farm, a Christian communal farm based on the book of Acts, which practiced racial equality in a time that fought such ideas. His sermons were down to earth, delivered with his own twist on things. He read from a Greek New Testament and translated into the vernacular of his own time. These colorful sermons were recorded and later transcribed for this book. Jordan's translations are still relevant in our time as we all need to look at our neighbor as an equal on the terms that Jesus gave us in his teachings. ( )
