Professor Troeger has written more than a dozen books in the fields of preaching and worship and is a frequent contributor to journals dedicated to these topics. His most recent books include Preaching and Worship, Preaching While the Church is Under Reconstruction, and Above the Moon Earth Rises: Hymn Texts, Anthems and Poems for a New Creation. He is also a flutist and a poet whose work appears in the hymnals of most denominations. For three years Professor Troeger hosted the Season of Worship broadcast for Cokesbury, and he has led conferences and lectureships in worship and preaching throughout North America, as well as in Holland, Australia, Japan, and Africa. Ordained in the Presbyterian Church in 1970 and in the Episcopal Church in 1999, he is dually aligned with both traditions. Prior to his appointment at Yale, Professor Troeger served as the Ralph E. and Norma E. Peck Professor of Preaching and Communications and Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs at Iliff School of Theology.
