PROPHECY:FROM JEREMIAH TO JEREMIAH
Prophecy is a genre of biblical writing and a form of sermonizing within the black church as well. We will trace this history from the writings of Jeremiah in the 6th century BCE to the sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in the 21st century CE. We will explore the similarities preserved in this genre in its long history over more than 2500 years. We will come to understand when prophecy was so important then and why it's so relevant to our national life today. |
