Abstract

This thesis deals with the issue: How does the Holy Spirit work in preaching? In this thesis it is emphasized that the work of the Holy Spirit in preaching is the foundation to make preaching possible. One of the major problems in preaching is its dryness and weakness, for preaching deals with dry biblical exegesis on the cognitive level rather than spiritual crisis. This project combines practical suggestions for more effective and powerful preaching, supported by the Holy Spirit, with an understanding from perspectives based on biblical understanding on the work of the Holy Spirit in preaching and in writings of John Wesley and Karl Barth. The major work of the Holy Spirit in preaching is to make the objective reality of revelation the subjective reality; consequently, preachers and audiences come to believe the text is written for them and overcome the purely cognitive level in preaching. The conclusion is that the inclusive understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit in preaching helps preachers to overcome dry and weak preaching.
