 Naming Grace: Preaching and the Sacramental Imagination Mary Catherine Hilkert, OP Not only is Hilkert's work an important contribution to homiletics that will certainly be of interest to preachers from many traditions, but it is also an important contribution to narrative theory and narrative practice that will appeal to a much broader audience struggling in various ways to "hear each other into speech." The book is grounded in careful historical reflection on understandings of the power of the Word, particularly in Christian traditions, and insists that this power be understood not just rhetorically but also theologically. At every step along the way, Hilkert crosses boundaries that have been erected between "word" and "sacrament" ; between human stories and the story of Jesus; among biblical, liturgical, and doctrinal preaching. Drawing particularly on Paul Ricoeur's theory of narrative, feminist liberation theology, and political theology, as well as the theologies of Karl Rahner and Edward Schillebeeckx, Hilkert identifies preaching with "the sacramental imagination" --naming grief as well as grace a paradoxical proclamation of "God's abiding presence in a wounded world."
