SUSAN BOND OFFERS THE FIRST EXPLORATION OF THE homiletical implications of the new christologies suggested by feminist theology. After surveying the traditional theories of christology, she presents options suggested in contemporary feminist schools of thought: Sophia/wisdom, womanist, mujerista, incarnational/ erotic, and Asian and African christologies. With each option, Bond develops the homiletical implications, then proposes a constructive homiletic for preaching these feminist christologies.

"Honoring contemporary women's theological and homiletical struggles to preach about Jesus, Susan Bond skillfully and boldly takes up one of the most difficult and controversial issues in preaching thristology. Drawing upon an amazing number of women's voices. she puts before the reader critical and prophetic christological thinking that promises to reshape our preaching ministries."

Christine Smith, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities

"This is a powerful book, clearly delineating and addressing the pastoral tension between the Christ of preaching and the Christ of the sacraments. Following an insightful analysis of this tension in history, Bond constructs a 'salvage christology' that resolves the tension, bringing preaching and sacramental tasks together faithfully and dynamically."
