Abstract

Formal homiletics, which treats the homily as an act of interpersonal communication involving the connection of four elements, the preacher, the listener, the content and the mode of transmission, demands that contemporary developments in communication studies concerning the art of effective transmission be considered. The article discusses the importance of homiletics and communication theory and their interrelationship concerning the collection, analysis, interpretation and transmission of preaching content. Additional material is provided on the relationship between neuroscience and homiletics, revealing their mutual relationship and the need for collaboration in the effective communication of God's Word. Homiletics and communication theory are included in a comparative analysis in the context of preaching metadiscourse. The article aims to collect and organise the current state of knowledge in this area.
