Abstrakt

This thesis focuses on establishing relevance in preaching. Biblical communication reveals both objective and functional relevance. Objective relevance consists of mechanical and topical relevance. Functional relevance is the use of objective relevance to help listeners connect God's Word with their lives. To communicate relevantly, preachers must: a) comprehend the hermeneutical issues associated with connecting biblical truth with modern life, b) understand the listeners' milieu, c) apply objective and functional relevance techniques, and d) develop systems of intentional feedback. Homiletical and cognate literature confirm the importance of these elements. A preaching course is presented, providing a methodology for establishing relevance.
