Enduring Truth: Restoring Sound Theology and Relevance to African American Preaching

Though misinterpreting God's Word is not restricted to one race or culture, author Aaron Lavender identifies three factors that have precipitated the decline of black preaching specifically: racial segregation, black liberation theology, and prosperity theology. In Enduring Truth, Lavender argues that faithfulness to Scripture is the solution to a crisis within African American preaching.

Covering the history of the current crisis, the role of biblical exegesis in preaching, a theology of preaching, and preaching methods for the postmodern world, Lavender forwards a candid, succinct, and much needed treatise on faithfully determining and communicating the meaning of God's Word.

While focused on the African American context, this volume addresses topics relevant to all preachers. Enduring Truth is suited both for ministry practitioners and preaching courses. It will help readers elevate the Word of God over the worldly allures of any ministry setting.
