Preaching the Presence of God - Hardcover

by Eunjoo Mary Kim (Author)

""Into this new wave of homiletical insight comes a remarkable book by Eunjoo Mary Kim. Over against any notion of homiletical theory created in a cultural vacuum, Kim focuses with precision and insight on the Asian American context, showing how Asian American Christians are affected by the delicate interplay between the traditional religious heritage of the East and the new cultural situation in America. The Asian American pulpit will be richer for her efforts, and the field of homiletics will be wiser for her vision."" --from the Foreword Kim's much-needed resource provides clear and thoughtful insights on preaching from an Asian American perspective. This book first explores the distinctiveness of the Asian American congregation and spirituality, and then goes further to develop a theology of preaching that fully considers the uniqueness of this spirituality. In addition, Kim provides sound perspectives on Asian American biblical interpretation, helpful sermon development and design, and a sample sermon to make this book invaluable--a resource that sets the standard in Asian American preaching.
