    • Hum : Call And Response In African America Preaching

      $21.99

      In The Hum: Call and Response in African Preaching, Evans E. Crawford, with Thomas H. Troeger, relates his analysis of African American folk preaching by relying upon an indigenous scheme for evaluation. The call/response tension in black preaching (derived from a West African tradition) is what drives the musicality of speech in black churches. Crawford refers to this musicality as “hum thoughts” and one can imagine the choir responding with a low rumbling hum to the musical intonations of a motivated preacher.

      Key features: a new volume in the Abingdon Preacher’s Library, edited by Thomas H. Troeger; a different approach to preaching, firmly rooted in the black experience; leads the reader to understand preaching as an oral event; uses the term “homiletical musicality” to describe the musical understanding of the way sermons are heard and the oral response they awaken in the listener; and, coins new phrases for describing the preaching event.

    • Preaching For Black Self Esteem

      $26.99

      Preaching for Black Self-Esteem first defines the need for ethnic self-esteem and traces it through the history of Africans and Americans. A positive theology of self-esteem is offered to ground chapters that target types of low ethnic self-esteem.

      “What’s goin’ down? I know you don’t expect a seventy-five year old man to talk all that talk. . . ”

      A strong and much needed book addressing black youth today, Preaching for Black Self-Esteem is geared to a generation of black men and women who can–suggests the authors–proudly face issues such as caste systems, one’s own physical characteristics, feelings of ambivalence and inferiority, and even ‘buppies’–economically upwardly mobile Blacks.

      A very powerful collection of sermons for a generation of Blacks coming of age after the Civil Rights era.

    • Prophethood Of Black Believers

      $33.00

      The author, one of the founding fathers of the black theology movement, provides this valuable survey of the black church. Using a cross cultural, interdiscplinary, ecumenical approach, he shows how knowledge gained through black theology can be applied to specific areas of ministry such as education, pastoral care, and political and economic issues. He challenges ministers and churches to nurture the “prophethood” of all believers in a holistic ministry in and to the black community, a ministry that has both personal and social dimensions and needs to involve the underclass as well as the middle class.

    • Methodisms Racial Dilemma

      $24.99

      This book is the story of the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church, the jurisdication that was created for African American members of the three bodies uniting in 1939. James S. Thomas sketches the history of American Methodism from its earliest beginnings through the years of tumult around the issue of slavery and on into the twentieth century. But hte bulk of the book is that story that could best be told only by an insider, in this case, by the one who served as chairperson of the Central Jurisdication Study and Research Committee, popularly known as the Committee of Five, which forumalted the plan for themerger of the Central Jurisdiction’s annual conferences into the regional jurisdictions.
      Officially, the story of the Central Jurisdiction begain in 1939. But the attitudes and social practices that prompted its creation go much further back into history. As those attitudes evolved–by a combination of legislated change within the wider society and the opening of the minds of many people–the ever-present dilemna of the Central Jurisdiction was resolved. Its demise, says Bishop Thomas, enables The United Methodist Church more faithfully to seek the goal of one Shepherd, one fold.
