Preaching mediates the word of God into a cultural matrix. And no
American preaching has done so more effectively and powerfully than
African American preaching, claims noted homiletician James Harris.
Known for its rhetorical strength, social-justice orientation, and
dead-on connection to the community's lived experience, black
preaching is here analyzed and proposed as a model for all
preaching. Harris here grounds black preaching in the
self-understanding of the historic black church and its most
prominent preachers, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Samuel Proctor.
Harris also explores the hermeneutical and aesthetic dimensions of
preaching, especially at the intersection of the sacred text and
the broader culture. He then lays out the specific distinguishing
characteristics of black preaching, including verbal cadence and
rhythm, use of gestures, and, most thoroughly, the narrative model
of sermon. His last chapter, "Preaching Plainly," provides specific
instructions on how to put the sermon together employing this
model.
