Enflamed by the Sacramental Word

Preaching & Worship

“This inspiring and important book should be required reading for all students and scholars of preaching. Perhaps nothing in postmodern homiletics is as misunderstood as what passes for 'justice' preaching with its chest-beating and its guilt-inducing rhetorical 'isms.' This insightful and ingenious book presents a new paradigm for reforming social justice preaching through the 'imagination of the poor' and through a very ancient Dominican model of community and solidarity. Vincent Pastro demonstrates not only what social justice preaching is and what it can do, he also teaches how social justice preaching acts in real life. This is a book to which I will turn again and again to learn and re-learn about the courage to preach life-saving and world-changing words.”
