Abstract

The author speaks to the power and importance of prophetic preaching. Comfort and respectability are subtle temptations shaping preaching within various middle and upper-middle class churches. Theologically, the role of prophetic preaching served to remind God's people, even in exile, of their unique role in proclaiming and living God's word. The author identifies a model of prophetic preaching, specifically preaching on 'prophetic oracles of judgment,' using the insights of self-psychology that leads to spiritual discrenment and transformation. Sermons were designed to reflect and explore different positions of prophetic preaching. The author shows prophetic preaching as relevant for spiritual transformation.
