Abstract

Biblical preaching in a manner consistent with God's intent and appropriate to the listening community has always presented challenges greater than the acumen and ability of those who aspire to preach biblically. The twenty-first century ushered in yet another subset of challenges facing biblical preaching and preachers. This project examines the mindsets of modernity and postmodernity alike, with a view toward preachers understanding and engaging the habits of modernity and skepticism of postmodernity through the lens of the gospel of God and its crown jewel, the cross of Jesus Christ. Whereas postmodernity asserts that truth is what one makes it and the reader imports meaning into the text rather than derives meaning from the biblical text, preachers must allow the biblical text to say what God intends to say rather than substantiate postmodern indictments toward scripture and its interpreters. The focus of this project is not toward a methodology of preaching, whether expository, topical, or textual, but instead advocates the proper content of biblical preaching and proper confidence of the biblical preacher.
