9781666791341: Postcolonial Homiletics?: Exploring Consciousness, Centers, and Identity for Preaching

Synopsis

This book pursues the question of consciousness and thought through the art of preaching in a postcolonial era. Indeed, the past has bestowed upon the present the legacy of colonization and, in the South African context, apartheid. However, the endeavor of postcolonizing theology and homiletics is a contentious space that has not been settled. This book promotes a counterargument to the prevalent directions of decolonization by focusing on three themes of importance--consciousness, perspective, and identity--through the insights of primary postcolonial sources.
