This comprehensive book delves into the profound impact of white racialization on the field of homiletics, exploring its pervasive influence in Euro-American homiletical practice, pedagogy, and theory. In the first section, "Racial Hegemony," the author critically examines the white, colonial bias that permeates Euro-American homiletical discourse, shedding light on the intersection of preaching and racialization. The author challenges the dominant narratives and power structures that perpetuate racial inequality and oppression, advocating for a more inclusive and equitable approach to homiletics.

The second section, "Resistance and Possibilities," presents a diverse range of critical homiletical approaches that emerge in dialogue with racially-minoritized scholarship and knowledge. The book showcases the insights and perspectives of scholars and practitioners who have been marginalized and subjugated due to their race, offering alternative frameworks for understanding and practicing homiletics. By engaging with this text, preachers and professors of preaching will gain valuable insights into non-dominant homiletical pathways that can lead to a more just and compassionate future for the church and the world.

Through its rigorous analysis and thoughtful exploration, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of race and religion in contemporary society. It challenges readers to confront their own biases and assumptions and encourages them to embrace a more inclusive and transformative approach to preaching and teaching.
