Description

This course will try to capture what is distinctive and unique in black preaching that can be considered exemplary. We hope to convey the idea that black preaching is generated by two seemingly opposite sources of power, intellectual and emotional. The hypothesis of the course is that excellent black preaching must be intellectual without being dull, and emotional without being dumb. We will use texts by Gardner C. Taylor, Cleophus J LaRue and Henry Mitchell, among others,as we attempt to support our hypothesis and demonstrate what we believe black preaching may contribute to all preaching.
