Description

Drawing on performance studies and sacramental and liturgical theology, Ruthanna B.

Hooke develops a theology of proclamation grounded in the body’s experience of preaching.

The author explores the claim that preaching is a sacramental event of communion with the triune God by comparing the steps involved in voice production with the fourfold shape of the Eucharist.

This comparison yields a description of preaching as an event of self-offering that allows space for the humanity of the preacher and as an encounter with the Holy Spirit that is communal and prophetic.

Preaching draws participants into Christ’s dying and rising, and hence into a mode of power known in vulnerability.

Calling hearers into the eschatological event of the resurrection, preaching inherently moves toward proclamation on political and ethical issues.

Hooke uses this theological framework to offer ways of preaching on environmental crisis and on racism.

The author calls preachers to embodied engagement with preaching and describes a way for preachers to bear witness to Jesus Christ not only in the content of their proclamation, but in their way of being in the preaching event.
