Synopsis
Recognizing the essential and true power of the pulpit, Black Sacred Rhetoric: A Commentary for African American Preaching professes the need to appreciate a greater theological understanding of non-biblical liturgical sayings within the Black Church experience. Written especially for seminary students and vocational preachers, minister and scholar Dr. Gregory M. Howard takes a sharp, pointed, and surprisingly universal look at the force of words, phrases, and common parables in the Christian faith. He expounds upon fifty-five of these sacred utterances in order to bring context and meaning to occasionally misappropriated colloquial sayings. Whether to African Americans, Caucasian, Latino, or Asian American congregations, the messages are collectively familiar and relevant to initiate and teach the use of folklore and tradition in creating powerful and culturally relevant sermons.
