Reviews

[Rob O'Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good basic summary of the theological, sociological and rhetorical perspectives that have formed the Hispanic pulpito ("pulpit"). More historical than homieltical, this text introduces the reader to those who have shaped Hispanic homiletical thought. However, if you are looking for a practical manual on how to preach in a Hispanic context, while you may find numerous sermons helpful, you will need to look elsewhere.
