Publisher's Description
This book proposes a theology of preaching from the perspective of the poor. Traditional homiletic methodology concentrates on the "how" of preaching. Pastro maintains that the real question for a renewal of preaching is theological, the "who" of the preaching. The center of the "who" is the Triune God living in the poor community.

“Drawing in productive ways from Bonhoeffer's Christus als Gemeinde existierend, as well as years of listening attentively to the Mexican immigrant community in the U.S. that he served for decades, Dr. Pastro demonstrates the myriad ways that the Holy Spirit indwells in the pueblo, among the poor, inspiring those, like him, who listen.”
“There is, broadly speaking, a tendency in the field of theological and pastoral studies to consider homiletics--the art of preparing and delivering biblical messages--as a matter of lesser importance. This is a big mistake. In fact, homiletics is the crown of pastoral and theological formation. And Vince Pastro's The Preaching Church: The Poor as Sacra Praedicatio, is the most precious jewel of that crown. Nec plus ultra!”
