What is prophetic preaching? Is it the sermon of a charismatic exceptional human being or are we all empowered to preach prophetically? Is it authoritarian or can it be questioned, is it cutting off dialogue or can it initiate it instead? Is it a speech shaped by its certain moment in history or culture (so it will not be found in democratic societies or is not even wanted), or do we need prophetic preaching now to be or become the church? The author examines prophetic preaching from all angles: Exegetically, dogmatically, homiletically, from the perspective of those who preach and those who listen to the preaching. In order to do so she takes the readers on a journey to South Africa, the USA and Germany. She states that it is the changing of views that makes the preaching prophetic and that makes such preaching necessary today.
