Homiletische overwegingen

Samenvatting

Creating and delivering a sermon presupposes academic and professional skills, and a deep connection with the community of faith along with a true understanding of society. That the revelation of God in Jesus Christ is historical in nature requires a search for the original meaning of Biblical texts. In the sermon, however, the Biblical text receives salvific power ‘beyond’ the exegesis of the text. A sermon becomes salvific when the life-world of the hearers, the appropriation of salvation, and theological insight merge with the interpretation of the Biblical text.
