The Preaching Church: The Poor as Sacra Praedicatio - Paperback

by Vincent J. Pastro (Author), Maria Teresa Montes Lara (Foreword by)

This book proposes a theology of preaching from the perspective of the poor. Traditional homiletic methodology concentrates on the "how" of preaching. Pastro maintains that the real question for a renewal of preaching is theological, the "who" of the preaching. The center of the "who" is the Triune God living in the poor community.
