Grimké's Gospel Echo

A Handbook for Preaching

Beschreibung

Grimké's Gospel Echo presents a comprehensive theology of preaching through the lens of Francis James Grimké, a pioneering 19th-century Presbyterian minister who rose from slavery to become one of America's most respected preachers. Dr. Eric J. Freeman introduces readers to the Evangelical Emancipatory Homiletic (EEH), a theological framework that balances deep biblical fidelity with meaningful cultural engagement. Readers will explore Grimké's remarkable journey and how his experiences shaped his distinctive preaching voice, while gaining theological understanding of preaching as a sacred stewardship requiring both spiritual formation and skilled communication. The handbook provides practical guidance for developing transformative sermons that evangelize, empower, and equip diverse congregations, along with insights for addressing contemporary issues while maintaining gospel integrity. Whether you're a seminary student, experienced pastor, or lay leader, this handbook provides both inspiration and practical tools for those called to preach with authenticity and biblical faithfulness, with reflective exercises and applications to help develop your unique preaching voice while honoring time-tested principles of effective proclamation. Discover how the echoes of Grimké's homiletical approach continue to resonate today, offering a balanced path for preachers seeking to be both theologically sound and culturally relevant in an increasingly complex world.

As a bishop within the Christian Covenant Fellowship of Ministries and founder of The Meeting Place Church of Greater Columbia, Dr. Freeman has balanced rigorous theological scholarship with practical ministry leadership throughout his career. His doctoral research on Evangelical Emancipatory Homiletics directly informs this work, offering a framework that honors both theological fidelity and meaningful social engagement.
