This project demonstrated the role of behavioral sciences, specifically systems theory and object relations theory, as interpretive of the congregation in preparation for preaching. These two theories are built around presuppositions similar to a theological anthropology in which the Old Testament 'image of God' and the New Testament 'Body of Christ' are central. Those theories can enable the preacher to conduct a double hermeneutic. The interpretation of the biblical text and the use of behavioral science in the interpretation of the congregation can both assist the preacher preparing meaningful sermons. A series of sermons, which utilized the double hermeneutic in a variety of ways, was critiqued by a group trained to provide essential feedback.
