Speaking on Anger. Preaching That Embodies Texts and Contexts (en Inglés) - Cas Wepener

Similar to contemporary contexts, anger is encountered throughout biblical texts. However, many preachers lack the insight and skill to address the complex emotion of anger that is present texts and contexts, even if they recognize the usefulness of anger. As a result, some preachers either shy away from incorporating anger or preach against anger as being sinful. In Speaking on Anger, Cas Wepener shows how and when preachers can incorporate anger responsibly into liturgy and sermons as expressions of God's love.

A native of South Africa, Wepener draws on African and U.S. scholars from disciplines ranging from theology, pastoral care, and philosophy to ritual studies, carnal hermeneutics, and bodily epistemology. Along the way, Wepener centers the human body as a way to explore the role of anger in preaching and worship. Wepener argues that preachers can become agents of redemptive interruption as they confront injustices with the sensible and responsible use of anger. Speaking on Anger will speak to pastors, preachers, liturgists, and worship leaders who value prophetic preaching, postcolonial homiletics, and healing worship.
