Description :
Learn to use four characteristics of &quotpreching with moral
imagination&quotto proclaim freedom for all. The author describes the four
characteristics using examples like Robert F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr.,Prathia Hall, and the Moral Monday Movement, along with musicians and
other artists of today. Moral imagination helps the hearer to see what they
cannot see, to hear what they cannot hear--to inhabit the lives of others, so
that they can embody Christ and true freedom for those others.&nbspThi book
equips and empowers preachers to transcend their basic skills and
techniques, so that their proclamation of the Word causes actual turnaround in
the hearts and lives of their hearers, and in their communities.&quotFrak
Thomas has written apassionate summons: amid the current destructive chaos
of our societythere is an urgent need for moral imagination. Such imagination
is theantithesis of &#8220dibolic&#8221and
&#8220idlatrous&#8221imagination that is all to thefore in our public discourse
and practice. Thomas fleshes out &#8220moalimagination&#8221with close
reflection on the practice of Robert F. Kennedyand Martin Luther King. Before
he finishes Thomas shows how the urgencyof &#8220moal
imagination&#8221belongs peculiarly to the work of the preacher.This book is
a welcome call for gospel-grounded courage and truth aboutthe neighbor
issued in a way that refuses the self-serving fakery thatdominates our public
life.&quotnbsp--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological
