Preaching Racial Justice

“The writing is accessible and moving, insightful and inspiring, full of concrete examples and useful suggestions for how we can begin the prophetic and ultimately healing work of preaching racial justice. Possibly the most important book on preaching to be published in the last fifty years, certainly this century, it is highly recommended for seminary, parish, academic, and any collections concerned with theology, liturgy, and ultimately humanity.”- Herman Sutter, Catholic Library World   “Preaching Racial Justice reveals the centuries-long failure of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States to speak openly about the painful truths of racism and the steadfast faith of Black Christians, lied to and ignored for so long. Fifteen diverse preachers and catechists have written this book to make this history plain for all to see as they tell their stories and make suggestions for preaching and discussing racial justice honestly and with impact.”—Diana L. Hayes, professor emerita, Georg
