As Christian nationalism surges across pulpits, politics, and pews, preaching truth has never been more urgent-or more dangerous. Preaching Truth: Prophetic Leadership Against Rising Christian Nationalist Power is both a fiery theological indictment and a faithful call to action. Written by Rev. Jason Carson Wilson, a Black queer United Church of Christ minister and public theologian, this book offers a bold and uncompromising vision for reclaiming the pulpit as a site of liberation, not domination.
Grounded in Black liberation theology, womanist thought, and queer prophetic traditions, this powerful volume addresses faith leaders, seminarians, justice advocates, and congregations as they navigate the theological crisis of our time. Drawing on the legacies of James Cone, Pamela Lightsey, Bryan Massingale, Horace Griffin, and Bayard Rustin, Rev. Wilson dismantles the theological scaffolding of white supremacy and Christian nationalism while lifting up the liberative gospel of Jesus Christ.
Inside this prophetic resource, you'll find:
- ?? A theological critique of Christian nationalism and its weaponization of scripture
- ?? A framework for prophetic preaching that speaks truth to power and centers the oppressed
- ?? Tools for cultivating inclusive, anti-racist, and queer-affirming faith communities
- ?? Sample liturgies, worship outlines, and policy models rooted in liberation and intersectionality
- ?? Insightful analysis shaped by real-world organizing, pastoral experience, and spiritual resilience
Whether you're preaching from the pulpit, marching in the streets, or building justice-centered ministries behind the scenes, this book equips you to resist empire, reclaim the gospel, and lead with holy fire.
