The Sermon of Jeremiah Wright and Some Questions


Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile at his blog Pure Church has an extremely interesting posting entitled "Confusing God and Government" . He is linked to another site which features the full sermon of Jeremiah Wright that has been in all of the media. The interesting part of this is Anyabwile's questions about the sermon. He writes, "I'd be interested in your thoughts about the sermon, not just the reactions already circulating around the media, but your technical critiques as a preacher or a consumer of preaching. All are welcome."

One of Anyabwile's questions is "Do the major points/content of the sermon grow out of the text itself? Are the preacher's points the same points made by the text?" The comments on this posting are very interesting and very good. I suspect, I know, that Pastors in the PCUSA will benefit from reading them.
