This book on Homiletics is the first of its kind, being co-authored by an American and a South African, bringing two unique and challenging contexts into dialogue. The book addresses the role of folly as a type of “counter-culture” movement, bringing examples from America and South Africa into dialogue. In this book the focus on cultural hermeneutics is brought into international dialogue, within the theological discipline of homiletics. The book reflects on the analogies, as well as different nuances between the South African notion of Ubuntu, the German practical-theological concept of fragment, as well as the Dutch understanding of form and reform, in order to re-conceptualize a cultural-hermeneutical approach to liminality, especially in view of homiletical praxis. It analyzes, inter alia, the South African cultural phenomenon of enclavement, expressed in the formation of an “iron theology”, that was typical of the apartheid era, using a variety of sermonic examples and identifying various strands of rhetorical techniques that were used in the process of constructing and legitimizing such an “iron theology”.
