Abstract

This project examines the theology of Paul as a paradigm for post-Holocaust Christian preaching. This paradigm is developed in a five-fold manner: 1) to analyze the Holocaust of the Jews through historical and theological criticism; Auschwitz, a concrete historical place and event, serves as the symbol-event of the entire Holocaust and twenty centuries of anti-Jewish theology in the Church; 2) to explore the development of anti-Jewish theology in the New Testament and Christian tradition and the direct correlation between Christian anti-Judaism and racial anti-Semitism; 3) to apply the hermeneutical principle of ideological suspicion to classical interpretations of Paul, and reread the apostle as one who embraced Jews as Jews; 4) to understand Paul's theology as a theocentric liberation theology of Gentiles and apply passages from Paul to preaching today; and 5) to provide practical examples of two sermons from Paul which apply a hermeneutic of liberation to preaching, and to provide a practicum of preaching in the setting of St John's United Methodist Church in Austin, Texas.
