In Rethinking Celebration: From Rhetoric to Praise in African American Preaching (Westminster John Knox), Cleophus LaRue calls on his fellow African Ameriacn preachers to keep their eyes on the central task of preaching: the exposition and interpretation of scripture. He describes this helpful volume as “a clarion call for African American preachers to think more deeply about the aims and ends of their preaching – namely, to stop putting so much emphasis on celebratory endings to our sermons and focus more on the substantive content in our sermons.”
