Abstract

This project proposes that preaching, in its nature, is a sign; a sacrament that provides space for listener identification and an encounter with God. The pastor is a celebrant, not only at the altar, but also as a preacher. In Sweden today, there is a disbelief in preaching because of its traditionally explanatory and authoritarian nature. At the same time, there is a longing for the words that identify the experiences of life. Through this interpretation of Lutheran preaching, contemporary hermeneutical research, contemporary discussions of authority, and influence from the African-American preaching tradition, the author shows how preaching can answer this longing. The research discloses that preaching is more closely related to the altar than the teacher's desk.
