      ab: This article reviews *Ritual and Social Dynamics in Christian and Islamic Preaching* (2024), a collection of essays examining religious preaching—specifically sermons—in Christianity and Islam as social acts that reflect and shape sociopolitical contexts, normative claims, and ritual practices. The volume explores preaching’s role in public religious instruction amid declining religious literacy, analyzing historical and contemporary sermons from Germany, South Africa, and Muslim societies, including the khutbah (Friday sermon). While the essays highlight preaching’s social embedding, normative influence, and ritual dimensions, the review notes a relative lack of in-depth rhetorical analysis and comparative discussion between Christian and Islamic homiletics. Despite these gaps, the book offers valuable insights into the pragmatics of religious preaching within the two largest world religions.
