- Summary:
- Firmly rooted in the black experience, this approach to homiletics helps readers understand preaching as an oral event. The call/response tension in black preaching is what drives the musicality of speech in black churches. Crawford refers to this musicality as "hum thoughts", and leads the reader to a better understanding of this type of preaching and its effects on the congregation.
