Abstract

Abstract This paper argues for the retention of the monologue sermon as an effective means of congregational formation, against a background of increasing criticism. Firstly, it allows for sustained focus on a topic in ways that discussion-based alternatives do not. Secondly, it appropriately values expertise and godly authority in a culture which has subjectivised truth and devalued expertise. Thirdly, it can allow congregations to hear voices they otherwise would not. Fourthly, it models the hermeneutical process for the congregation. Finally, as a sober address on behalf of God, it has permission to issue confronting challenges.

(部分)为独白布道辩护

摘要:本文主张保留独白讲道作为会众形成的有效手段，反对越来越多的批评背景。首先，它允许持续关注一个主题，这是基于讨论的替代方法所不能做到的。其次，在主观性真理和贬低专业知识的文化中，它适当地重视专业知识和神圣的权威。第三，它可以让会众听到他们原本听不到的声音。第四，它为会众示范释经过程。最后，作为代表上帝的冷静的讲话，它有权提出面临的挑战。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Practical Theology is an academic journal. It is intended for practical theologians and teachers of religious education, scientists specializing in religion, and representatives of other cultural-scientific disciplines. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The journal contains contributions on an empirically descriptive and critically constructive theory of ecclesiastical and religious practice in society. Primarily, it deals with descriptions of religion as it is practised. Religion in this context can be understood in the broad sense of the word according to which all appreciative tendencies towards an ultimate view of oneself and of the world can be described as being religious.
