Abstract

Innovations in media have altered the way in which words are conceived, retrieved, received, and even believed. We are now preaching to a generation of 'Sesame Street kids,' whose preferred medium is the screen. Literate preachers are being forced to become more 'electronic'. Electronic preaching does not mean subsutituting electronic media for human speech, but embodying the Word as thoroughly as possible--in the preacher, the listeners, and the biblical characters. Embodied preaching seizes on the unique strength of human speech, namely, its particularity, and seeks to recover the dynamics of the ancient, oral rhetorical tradition: speech that is from the heart, face to face, down to earth, and of the moment.
