Contents:
Do you see this woman? : a little exercise in homiletical theology / André Resner -- The gospel of prosperity : Jesus, capitalism, and hope / Debra J. Mumford -- Deconstructing a gospel of reconciliation : locating trouble and grace in postcolonial preaching / Sarah A.N. Travis -- One nation, two states, and two words of God? : the gospel of reconciliation and theological tasks of preaching from a Korean perspective / Yohan Go -- When our words fail us : preaching gospel to trauma survivors / Joni S. Sancken -- Gospel as transfiguring promise : the unfinished task of homiletical theology in a context of disestablishment, empire, and white supremacy / David Schnas Jacobsen.
Summary: Many preachers and teachers of preaching talk about the gospel; few name it. Theologies of the Gospel in Context assembles a gifted group of homileticians who think that preachers need to be able to articulate the gospel not "in general," but in a certain time and place, in context. They consider what gospel sounds like for people under oppression, in capitalist economies, in neocolonial contexts, for survivors of trauma, and for disestablished mainline churches marred by racism. Preachers will appreciate these preacher/scholars' desire to articulate the gospel with clarity, especially since the term is so often left unexplained. Homileticians will see a new genre of doing their work as teachers and researchers in preaching: a vision that helps preaching see itself not just as an adjunct to exegesis or communication, but a place of doing theology. In these pages homiletics is more than technique, it is a truly theological discipline.
