This book encourages preaching to address our twenty-first-century, multifaceted reality of racialization across a diverse set of communities by means of a deep exploration of theory in dialogue with practices of preaching. The book consists of essays by a diverse group of scholars and sermons by a diverse group of preachers who aim to bridge theories that animate their work and practices that can speak the truth differently to ecclesial communities. Along the way, these scholars reference the work of philosopher Paul Ricoeur who integrates a hermeneutic of texts with a hermeneutic of the self so that preaching can interpret texts and recognize the selves who find themselves graciously empowered to resist racism and its harms for the long haul.
