Introduction: "Time is filled with swift transition" ; Gardner C. Taylor: case study in crossover preaching Turning ink to blood: performative improvisation Rooted, but not restricted: metaphorical improvisation Transgressing the divides: intercultural competence Putting flesh to bones: homiletical strategies Conclusion: Crossing la frontera (the border).

Crossover Preaching proposes a way forward through conversation with the "dean of the nation's black preachers," Gardner C. Taylor, former senior pastor of Concord Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York. Jared E. Alcantara argues that an analysis of Taylor's preaching reveals an improvisational-intercultural approach that demonstrates his enduring significance and equips churches and seminaries for the future.
