Introduction

This book pursues the question of consciousness and thought through the art of preaching in a postcolonial era. Indeed, the past has bestowed upon the present the legacy of colonization and, in the South African context, apartheid.

Contemporary Challenges

However, the endeavor of postcolonizing theology and homiletics is a contentious space that has not been settled.

Counterarguments and Focus

This book promotes a counterargument to the prevalent directions of decolonization by focusing on three themes of importance—consciousness, perspective, and identity—through the insights of primary postcolonial sources.
