"This collection of twenty-nine articles by international experts in the area of homiletics coincides with the revival of interest in preaching over the last twenty-five years. It is practical without being merely tips for preachers; and it offers the necessary theoretical discussion for anyone who wants to take the art of preaching seriously. No important issue has been omitted and, taken as a whole, the book constitutes a first class introduction to the principles, processes, context and theology of preaching."--Jacket.

"Preaching simply does not happen apart from the Holy Spirit. In fact, preaching is the Spirit's ministry! 'Spirit-led Preaching' helps readers understand preaching from the Spirit's point of view. It teaches about the Spirit's role in both the preparation and the delivery process, and explains the crucial connection between Word and Spirit as they depend on each other to bring about spiritual transformation in the lives of the congregation. This revised edition includes a new chapter on the congregation's role in relationship to the Spirit and preaching - a subject not often mentioned in books on preaching. 'Spirit-led Preaching' is a book written by a pastor to pastors and students of preaching and is filled with personal examples from the author's own preaching ministry. This book has been a trusted resource for pastors for over a decade."--

Der Stellenwert der frühen volkssprachigen Predigt für den theologischen und frömmigkeitsgeschichtlichen Verständnishorizont eines laikalen (Adels-)Publikums wurde bislang unterschätzt. Vereinzelt erfolgte zwar der Rückgriff auf diese quantitativ bedeutendste Textsorte um 1200, aber nur der systematische Zugriff kann eine methodisch abgesicherte Bewertungsgrundlage bieten. Die Matrix theologischer Inhalte der frühen deutschen Predigt zeigt in der Standardisierung und Freigabe bestimmter Wissensbestände und Wissensordnungen die Schlüsselrolle dieser Textsorte bei der Diskurssteuerung und -sicherung zu geistlichen Themen um 1200 auf. Der vorliegende Band ermöglicht den systematischen Zugriff auf zwei Ebenen: Einerseits werden die Lehrinhalte der Predigten nach Predigtanlässen geordnet und kategorisiert, und andererseits erschließen die Register von Bibelstellen, Namen und Sachen sowie theologischer Schlagwörter die katechetischen Inhalte aller frühen Predigttexte. Die erstmalige systematische Erschließung der geistlichen Wissensbestände in der Volkssprache macht das Buch zusammen mit einer breit angelegten Einführung, die Einsichten in Überlieferung, Struktur und Arbeitstechniken der Frühen deutschen Predigt ermöglicht, zu einem unverzichtbaren Handbuch für Germanisten, Theologen und Kulturwissenschaftler.
