Preaching Justice

Preaching Justice brings together eight very diverse voices from eight distinct cultural/ethnic communities, challenging them to articulate the specific justice concerns, issues, and passions that give rise to a preaching ministry within the their own community and beyond. Theological analyses are offered by theses persons representing their particular communities:Kathy Black - persons with disabilitiesMartin Brokenieg - Native AmericansTeresa Fry Brown - African AmericansEleazar Fernandez - Filipino AmericansJusto Gonzalez - HispanicsEunjoo Mary Kim - Korean AmericansStacy Offner - JewsChristine Marie Smith - lesbians and gaysThis volume offers a rare vision of what transforms preaching might sound and look like, and urges that all preaching - whatever community it comes from, whatever community it hopes to reach - be grounded in the sacred acts of listening and knowing. Christine Marie Smith is professor of preaching and worship at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, New Brighton, Minnesota. Her Previous books include Weaving a Sermon and Preaching as Weeping, Confession, and Resistance.
