Title: Images of the Black preacher
First published: 1977
Description: Preachers in the black community have a difficult and challenging task to fulfill. They are called to heal broken spirits and give meaning to the life of an oppressed people. At the same time they are hindered by the public media's false and misleading images of their role. The author of this book analyzes both the negative and positive contemporary images of the black preacher and points to ways in which black preachers can carry on a more effective ministry and thus fulfill their high calling. Not only black preachers but also lay people will appreciate this deeper understanding of the significant role of pastoral leadership. - Back cover.
