Product Description:

One hundred sermons that display the painful, yet victorious, historical and spiritual pilgrimage of black people in America. Martha Simmons and Frank A. Thomas, this generation's chroniclers of black preaching and the publisher and CEO, respectively, of the journal "The African American Pulpit," have done significant research to put together this comprehensive and groundbreaking volume of sermons by men and women, from the earliest recorded three hundred years ago up through today. Employing poetic language, moving metaphors, and thrilling syncopations, these sermons make plain the striving toward God of an inspired people and paint a portrait of their life in slavery, their fight for freedom, the rise of the civil rights and black power movements, and the gains of the black middle class. Included are preachers such as Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Jarena Lee, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Gardner C. Taylor. The complexity, spiritual richness, strength, and hope of black life are beautifully rendered in this magnificent and long-overdue work. 60 photographs.
