Prophetic Fire
Poetic Litanies of Justice and Liberation
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Prophetic Fire is a stirring collection of poetic litanies that ignites the soul, awakens the conscience, and fuels the sacred work of justice in a wounded world. In this companion volume to The Gospel According to Justice, Bishop Talbert W. Swan, II blends theology, poetry, and prophetic imagination to confront the spiritual and political crises of our time.
Rooted in the Black Church’s liberation legacy and inspired by Jesus’ mandate in Luke 4, these poems speak directly to the struggles of marginalized communities facing racism, erasure, economic exploitation, and rising authoritarianism. Each piece is a litany of resistance—a rhythmic cry for truth, healing, courage, and collective uprising.
Through searing verse, meditative reflections, and Scripture-infused insight, Bishop Swan creates a devotional and prophetic experience that can be used in worship, community gatherings, study groups, vigils, and personal reflection. These litanies are crafted not merely to be read, but to be spoken, heard, embodied, and lived.
Whether you are a pastor, activist, theologian, artist, or seeker of justice, Prophetic Fire invites you into a deeper encounter with faith that refuses to be silent. It challenges the Church to reclaim its prophetic voice, empower the oppressed, and resist systems designed to crush the spirit.
Combining spiritual depth with artistic brilliance, this collection is a powerful tool for all who believe that justice is sacred, truth is non-negotiable, and liberation is the heartbeat of the gospel.
Read it slowly. Reflect deeply. Let the fire spread.
