Preach like Wesley: John Wesley’s Theology of Preaching

감리교의 창시자 존 웨슬리의 신학에 대한 조직신학적이며 역사신학적 자료들과 연구들은 많다. 그러나 그의 설교학적 연구는 상대적으로 매우 미흡하다. 엄밀히 말해, 그의 신학적·실천적 근간은 그의 설교에 있다. 즉 그의 설교신학이 곧 그의 신학의 근본 플랫폼이라고 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 이에 본 논문은 존 웨슬리의 설교신학을 탐구하면서 18세기 영국 기독교에 부흥의 역사를 일으킨 요소가 무엇인지 살펴보고 그것을 통해 현대 설교에 있어 배울 점이 무엇인지 연구해 보고자 함에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 설교신학의 가장 기초적 요소요, 근본적 주제가 되는 삼위일체, 성서, 복음의 문제를 존 웨슬리의 일차 자료를 위주로 탐구하였으며, 이를 통해 오늘날까지 여전히 중요한 설교학적 과제가 되는 성서적 설교 그리고 복음적 설교를 위한 신학적·신앙적 대선배의 지혜를 찾게 되었다.

루터의 설교개혁과 설교신학 - 요한복음 20장 19-23절 설교를 중심으로

본 논문은 1522년부터 1544년까지 요한복음 20:19-23에 대한 루터의 설교를 중심으로 그의 설교개혁과 설교신학을 탐구한다. 루터는 이 성경 본문을 설교직에 대한 가르침이라고 명명한다. 특히 “아버지께서 나를 보내신 것 같이 나도 너희를 보내노라”(요 20:21)는 말씀이 요한복음에만 나오는데, 그리스도는 이 말씀을 가지고 설교직의 정의를 알려준다고 말한다. 설교직의 정의는 “그리스도의 복음을 설교하고, 짓눌린 채 두려워 떠는 양심의 죄를 용서하는 일이다. 하지만 뉘우치지 않고 안심하고 있는 자들의 죄는 그대로 놔두고 매는 일이다.” 이 정의에 근거해 루터는 중세 로마 가톨릭교회 설교의 문제점을 지적하고, 프로테스탄트 설교신학을 제시한다. 이 설교신학에서 루터는 그리스도가 영적 왕국, 즉 죄 사함의 왕국을 수립했음을 강조하고, 율법과 복음 및 믿음과 사랑을 핵심적인 주제로 사용한다.

Philip Melanchthon’s Early Theology of Preaching: Theologizing the Word of God in His Apology of the Augsburg Confession (1531)

This paper focuses on how Philip Melanchthon organized his theology of preaching in the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the very first defense of the early church reformers’ approach to doctrine against formal papal criticism as drafted in the Confutation of the Augsburg Confession by Johann Eck, who had been commissioned by emperor Charles V to provide a papal romanist refutation of the reformist Augsburg Confession. The article is going to demonstrate that Melanchthon’s theology of preaching insists on the proclamation of God’s Word as Christ, Gospel, and repentance, an indication that his homiletical theory encompasses key dogmas like christology, revelation, and soteriology, all fundamental tenets which not only define the core of Protestant theology and practice but also provide listeners with the possibility of a changed life experience based on Christ’s work as savior. The main contribution of this paper resides in the fact that on the one hand, it attempts to clarify Melanchthon’s theological position not as a Protestant writing against Catholics but rather as reformist challenging his papal peers within the Catholic church, while on the other hand, it identifies various aspects of his early thought as presented in the Apology—Christ, Gospel, repentance—and places them together systematically into a building block which constitutes his early theology of preaching as dogmatically founded on as well as anchored in christology, revelation, and soteriology.

Book Review: Without Apology: Sermons for Christ's Church

Without Apology: Sermons for Christ's Church. By Stanley Hauerwas. New York: Seabury Books, 2013. 208 pp. $18.00 (paper).In his Without Apology: Sermons for Christ's Church, we find renowned theological ethicist Stanley Hauerwas in an unusual, yet familiar place. This book is a collection of sermons and other popular writings. As such, it is a departure from Hauerwas s more academic work. Yet, many of the themes and positions that he develops therein are quite familiar to those who are even remotely acquainted with his thought. The result is twofold: we get interesting pieces that are more practical in nature, while also being treated to an accessible way to begin to filter through the main themes of Hauerwas s work.Without Apology contains three sections. The first is the introduction, where Hauerwas lays out a theology of preaching. The first move he makes in this theology of preaching is to fight the common presumption that he does not believe in apologetics; rather, he believes he follows Karl Barth in that the best apologetics is a good dogmatics. With this in mind, Hauerwas sees preaching as communicating the difference that exists for how we live and exist when we say that God was in Christ. From this, he does not try to translate the gospel into a more accessible language, but to allow the odd grammar that is Christian speech help us see the contingency of our existence and how we are to live and be as creatures made in Gods image. The second move that Hauerwas makes in the introduction is to explain why he does not explain. He fights against the critique leveled against him that he does not explain the gospel. He contrasts this by saying these attempts are almost always us; he would rather speak about the Triune God and how God has determined God's relationship to us. Our attempts at controlling the gospel must be broken by seeing our relationships and the whole of our lives in light of God's relationship with us. From this, Hauerwas refuses to dumb down sermons, instead opting to allow the Holy Spirit to show up as the Word is rightly proclaimed.The second section of Without Apology is the longest, containing a number of sermons that have been preached in a variety of places, but mostly at his home congregation, Church of the Holy Family in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and at Christ Church Cathedral in Nashville, Tennessee, where he is canon theologian. The main theme that runs throughout Hauerwass sermons is that the way we, as American Christians, often practice our Christianity is at best problematic and at worst unfaithful. …

The Spirit in Pentecostal Preaching: A Constructive Dialogue with Haddon W. Robinson’s and Charles T. Crabtree’s Theology of Preaching

Abstract This article contrasts Haddon W. Robinson’s Biblical Preaching with Charles T. Crabtree’s Pentecostal Preaching and provides an analysis to contribute to a Pentecostal theology of preaching. It shows the importance of maintaining faithfulness to the Spirit’s past and present work for preaching, reflected in Robinson’s and Crabtree’s emphases. Preachers must diligently study the written word — inspired by the Spirit — in order to appropriate it best for the preached word, while also remaining sensitive to the Spirit’s present leading. The article also goes beyond the two authors’ emphases, revealing the value of the Spirit’s work for preaching among the congregation, in the future, and within the triune God.

Context for Preaching Resources in the Roman Catholic Church

ABSTRACT The homily or liturgical preaching is a genre still under negotiation in the Roman Catholic Church. The bishops of the United States advanced conciliar thinking about the homily by outlining a theology and method in Fulfilled in Your Hearing. This document remains visionary and has been complemented by recent works in the theology of preaching. Because the Lectionary for Mass is the scriptural basis of the Sunday homily, hermeneutical studies of the lectionary shed light on the task of liturgical preaching. Newer resources engage a literary-liturgical hermeneutic that comments on the readings in the context of the lectionary and liturgical year. Recent revisions of the lectionary mean that older resources have to be used carefully. New challenges include lay and cross-cultural preaching.

Wesley's Theology of Preaching and Its Implications for Worship

The centrality of preaching in the exercise of Wesley's evangelistic, pastoral and theological formation (that is, the way he viewed theology and preaching) is beyond question. Justifiably, much has been written about the style (the "plain" versus the "fine" or "ornate"), content, heroic circumstances (especially in the early going of the Revival), biblical texture and literary sources of his preaching. His understanding, however, of the way in which the actual theological/ spiritual dynamics are played out in the preaching event (theology of preaching) has received surprisingly little attention. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony regarding the actual dynamics of his preaching and even Wesley's own detailed testimony about what seemed to be happening during his preaching is scant. Though he often speaks of the visible effects of his preaching on his audience (and they did record in their diaries and letters how they were attracted to or repulsed by him as a preacher), there is very little testimony that is reflective or analytical regarding what seemed to be happening from a theological perspective.

The Theology of Preaching: A Search for the Authentic

The creative tension which exists between the preacher's longing to proclaim an authentic Word from God and the need to acknowledge his own human involvement is reflected characteristically in the young Karl Barth. Writing from the pastorate during the early days of his theological struggles, he confessed that on Sunday mornings the preacher
