From problem to ally: transforming the Old Testament through Second Isaiah.


This book’s analysis of the impact of domination on Old Testament proclamation leads to several unique contributions: It reads Second Isaiah as a homiletic model for proclaiming older (pre-exilic) texts inresponse to exilic domination. It treats the Old Testament as a rich resource for confronting racism and anti-Semitismthrough preaching. It introduces contemporary Christian-Jewish dialogue in Germany as a model for the Church. And, it highlights preaching traditions within the African American Church as instructive for formulating an effective Old Testament preaching strategy.
