Many ministers instinctively recoil from «washed in the blood» theology, but they hesitate to discuss the subject. This book is useful in showing how the «purchased by the blood» idea is out of step with Jesus, who taught that God reaches the pure in heart without any sacrificial payment. The sacrificial metaphors used by the Apostle Paul have been taken far too literally and turned into an imagined «mechanics» of salvation in which God is «paid off.» This manipulative idea has been the source of mischief, from the anti-Semitic superstitions of the Middle Ages, to the pedagogy of shame taught in fundamentalist churches today. Our understanding of Christ will be enhanced if we can recover the original Christology, which was based on Christ as Creator and life-giver.

This book is the capstone of the ministry of Herbert E. Hudson IV from 1959 to 2020–literally a span of six decades. The sermons are grouped into three periods. Sermons given in Utica tend to be more academic and are termed «The Dawning of Awareness.» Sermons given at Central Square, a time of personal growth and change, are considered as «A Soul in Transition.» Finally, sermons in Key Largo reflect more certainty and trust in life and are referred to as «A Seasoned Spirit.» The balance of this handbook includes readings, prayers, invocations, benedictions, and special services for weddings, christenings, and memorials.

Many children wonder about the beginning of their lives, about where they come from and who they are. You Made Me speaks to these questions through contemplative practice, inspired by Lectio Divina, or «Divine Reading.» Immersing reader and listener in words from Psalm 139 and in vivid illustrations, children and adults are invited to reflect on God's presence in shaping and knowing them, even before the earliest moments of their physical lives.
