This course aims to analyze the challenges to and resources for preaching justice vis-à-vis politics in contemporary American contexts. Students will study how preachers have pursued proclamatory justice in light of these challenges in the past, investigate cultural factors shaping political contexts today, consider contemporary proposals for preaching toward justice, and then extend the practice with sermons of their own. The course moves, then, from a history of practice through sociopolitical analyses to the practice of preaching.
