In Postcolonial Preaching, HyeRan Kim-Cragg argues that preaching is the act of dropping the stone of the Gospel into a lake, making waves to move hearts and transform the world wounded by colonial violence. The ripple effect serves as a metaphor and acronym to guide to preaching that takes postcolonial concerns seriously: Rehearsal, Imagination, Place, Pattern, Language and Exegesis (RIPPLE). Kim-Cragg explains each “ripple” in this approach and exercise of creating and delivering sermons. The author delivers fresh insights while drawing on some traditional homiletical perspectives in the service of a homiletic that takes the reality of racism, migration, and environmental degradation seriously. Moreover, Kim-Cragg demonstrates the postcolonial sermon in action by including annotated homilies. This book contributes to the very first wave of the application of postcolonial scholarship in preaching. Given the continuing extent and influence of colonial worldviews and legacies, this approach should become a staple in preaching over the next generation.

The refugee camp on the island Moria in Greece was burning while I was reading the manuscript. Thousands of people were misplaced. The shameful failure of the European border regime was exposed anew. I take Kim-Cragg’s thoughtful and provocative proposal for a postcolonial perspective on preaching as a much needed contribution that takes these realities seriously.How can we confront the winds of chauvinism in a meaningful way? How can our proclamation shape our imagination in radically eschatological ways? How do we deal constructively with (post)colonial realities that are surrounding us? How do we approach biblical texts by engaging in postcolonial contrapuntal reading? Deep homiletical reflections and inspiring sermons address these questions.
