Description
Preaching the gospel in the African American tradition is both an art and a wondrous task. Few have contributed more to developing this art than Henry and Ella Mitchell, preachers of great power and passion.
In this volume dedicated to these renown preachers, ten distinguished contributors offer new insights and perspectives on the wondrous task of African American preaching, exploring it from the perspective of his or her particular theological discipline:
• Nathan Dell
• Patricia A. Gould-Champ
• Alison P. Gise Johnson
• Miles Jerome Jones
• Victoria L. Pratt
• Samuel Kelton Roberts
• Jerome Clayton Ross
• Boykin Sanders
• Gloria C. Taylor
• Robert Wafawanaka
Questions and issues explored include:
• How can women preachers find their voice in an arena dominated by men?
• How ought preaching change with respect to the economic or cultural context?
• What is the moral task of African American preaching?
