Dr. Copher has pioneered the investigation of Back presence in the ancient world in general and in the biblical text in particular. In so doing he helped to initiate a paradigm shift from Eurocentrism to Afrocentrism, the central task of which was the reversal of the historic devaluation of Africa and the African world is both academic and non-academic circles. Out of this Afrocentric approach comes an African-American perspective as the basis for interpreting reality. No longer is the European experience normative for interpreting Black reality, but the African world is elevated to a level of importance heretofore unknown in the Western world. All of the essays in this volume represent various expressions of this Afrocentric thought.

Religion and Violence is a very special book. I know of no other like it. It achieves a balance seldom found in introductory texts: comprehensive scope, sufficient depth, and a readable and lively prose... It remains the best basic text in the field."

This book grows out of an enduring conviction. Right preaching is the interpretation of Scripture. There is much excellent Christian speech that is not preaching Christians, even Christian preachers, entertain, inform, inspire, and opine. Often these presentations help the faithful and edify the community, but they are not preaching. They are not what every congregation has a right to expect when its members wait for the preacher to preach. The sermon they hear may be a carefully constructed oration or an apparently less formal conversation; it may consist mostly of stories or mostly of world studies; it may draw deeply from the experience of the preacher or deeply from the theological tradition of the text or texts that the congregation has just heard read aloud, it is not preaching.
