Reviews
The Censored Pulpit brims with subversive power, holy wisdom, and academic sophistication. Homiletician-hagiographer Donyelle McCray's fascinating analysis of the preaching legacy of medieval England's famed mystic, Julian of Norwich, will stoke the sacred imaginations of theological scholars and working clergy. Contesting century's old homiletics doctrine, McCray convincingly argues why the sermon's context need not require a pulpit, formal liturgy, Christian assembly, and without doubt a male preacher. Instead what is most constitutive of preaching and requisite for preachers is having the spiritual courage to proclaim the extravagant witness of the gospel in embodied speech as did Norwich and a chorus of other contemporary lay preachers who have followed in her wake. -- Kenyatta R. Gilbert, Howard University School of Divinity
