In the 21st century, preaching on race and racialization requires consistent engagement at the intersection of texts, contexts and identity. Race, Preaching, and Ricoeur provides hope for a renewed homiletic capable of engaging race across different communities.
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.

I wholeheartedly welcome Race, Preaching and Ricoeur for such a time as this! In a world where preaching on race faces formidable resistance, this is a welcome gift to the field of homiletics. There are only a few books that bring race and preaching into conversation but there is no collective volume like this addressing race and preaching by constructively engaging Paul Ricoeurs work, a unique source of insight. In addition, readers will be delighted to have a few chapters featuring sermons with the commentaries. This showcases the books commitment to a rigorous homiletical integration of theory and practice. * HyeRan Kim-Cragg, Principal and Professor of Preaching, Emmanuel College of Victoria University in the University of Toronto, Canada *
