Mary Catherine Hilkert, O.P., is Associate Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame. She is co-editor of The Praxis of Christian Experience: An Introduction to the Theology of Edward Schillebeeckx.
"More than a simple theology of preaching, this volume reaches into
the dynamic depths of Christian life in an original, provocative,
and readable way. It is a rich contribution to a much-neglected
field."--Elizabeth A. Johnson
"The single best book on the theology of preaching to appear in
quite some time....everyone who preaches will be enriched by an
encounter with this book....an intellectually stimulating tour of
some recent conversations on the role of the Bible in the life of
the church....Although Hilkert's exposition of women's voices in
preaching is not the first attempt at helping us understand the
unique gifts that women bring to the pulpit, it might very well be
the best one to date....If you can only read one book on preaching
and theology, read this one. It will challenge you intellectually
and theologically, it will inspire you, it will renew your
commitment to preaching, and in all likelihood it will make you a
better preacher."-- Sewanee Theological Review
"Preachers and teachers of preaching from any denomination will
find Naming Grace insightful and inspiring, clear and
comprehensive, practical and passionate."--Joan Delaplane, O.P.
"Deeply informed by Catholic and Protestant theology, Catherine
Hilkert explores the imaginative depth and the depth of imagination
intrinsic to authentic preaching . . . A remarkable harvest of the
most telling ecumenical and liberationalist insights bearing upon
the theology and the practical art of preaching."--Don E. Saliers
