Since World War II, Protestant sermons have been an influential tool for defining American citizenship in the wake of national crises. In the aftermath of national tragedies, Americans often turn to churches for solace. Because even secular citizens attend these services, they are also significant opportunities for the Protestant religious majority to define and redefine national identity and, in the process, to invest the nation-state with divinity.

La enseñanza y la práctica de la predicación en la América de habla hispana están en una encrucijada. La realidad que enfrenta la Iglesia de Jesucristo a comienzos del siglo XXI nos obliga a evaluar, a examinar y a transformar nuestra manera de predicar el Evangelio. Quienes ejercemos el ministerio de la predicación a comienzos del siglo XXI debemos desarrollar nuevos modelos homiléticos que nos ayuden a comunicar el Evangelio de manera efectiva. Estos nuevos modelos deben reflejar los avances tanto en el mundo de la teología contemporánea como el de la comunicación del Evangelio. Este es, precisamente, el propósito de este libro. Ofrecemos esta obra única con la esperanza de ayudar tanto a quienes practican como a quienes enseñan el arte de la predicación a comienzos del siglo XXI. De hecho, como dice el autor, creemos que todas estas ideas sobre los distintos cambios y avances en el estudio y la práctica de la predicación pueden señalar el camino a seguir para el desarrollo de una homilética pertinente para la realidad de todo el pueblo de habla latina en ambos hemisferios.
