Before a word of justice or liberation can be preached, the minister needs to understand what is oppressing a people.
In Preaching Justice, eight persons offer a theological analysis of specific communities: Kathy Black, persons with disabilities; Martin Brokenleg, Native Americans; Teresa Fry Brown, African Americans; Eleazar Fernandez, Filipino Americans; Justo Gonzalez, Hispanics; Eunjoo Mary Kim, Korean Americans; Stacy Offner, Jews; and Christine Marie Smith, lesbian-gay community.
More than mere reports, the chapters bring us inside the circle of each community so that we can experience a portion of their life. The act of doing theology is made concrete -- and personal -- as each author moves from elements of oppression to primary symbols of justice and liberation.
