Thinking deep thoughts on preaching...

Hmmm,



In the modern era, preaching was the art of writing a sermon. In the postmodern era, preaching has become the art of creating an experience of God.

    Right and wrong IMO.



    If one is determined to view humanity in toto through PM spectacles then this statement might possibly be correct. In a biblical context, preaching is the conveying of information through the spoken word. That spoken word may include data, words that encourage, words that help people experience more of God. I don't see that statement fitting a biblical context in the real world, just as preaching in a 'modern context' is incorrect.



    That statement is trying to make the tail wag the dog! Thanks for provoking some Monday morning thought :)
