- W1936693402 abstract "This study aims to emphasize the importance of the preacher‟s ethos in preaching. There are many voices of contemporary critique against preaching. Amongst other things, the declining influence of preaching is being blamed on the preacher‟s own ethos. So, what does ethos mean in relation to the preacher? This question forms part of the core of this research. Clearly, the relation between ethos and preaching is of great importance. Chapter 2 explores the basic concept of what we call “preacher” related to five key aspects: Firstly, it is argued that the definition of “preacher” is that he/she is a servant of the Word and of God. Secondly, the significance of the preacher‟s occupation as being similar to that of Jesus Christ is pointed out and the confession that the preacher‟s words lead to the parishioners‟ salvation. Thirdly, some of the many practical names given to the preacher is described, such as an ambassador, prophet, witness, shepherd, steward, herald, spokesperson and messenger. Fourthly, it is argued that, in preaching, the preacher‟s task is that of a mediator between God and humans, an interpreter of the Bible for the parishioners, and to inspire the congregation to live a more meaningful life. Lastly, the researcher highlights the significance of preaching related to six areas: the preacher, the congregation, the church, worship, Christianity and the world. Chapter 3 looks at preliminary research on current preaching in crisis. In a sense, some (post)modern people, such as social scientists, communication experts, theologians and those in the church pew, have a negative perception of preaching. Each party has its own angle of criticism but, whatever it may be, they all agree that something is crucially wrong with the present-day sermon. Chapter 4 investigates the general circumstances of the church and preaching, as well as the preacher in the Korean context, focusing on the following four aspects. Firstly, the Korean church as one of the most amazing phenomena in Christianity‟s recent history. Unfortunately, the church‟s growth has actually stopped and has even shown a decline since the mid 90s. Secondly, a study of Korean preaching indicates that this theological establishment is in fact not strong, and that a form of prejudiced exegesis of the Bible is spreading. Thirdly, in the Korean context, Korean preachers have inflated authority; they have to perform many activities; and a reasonable foundation for their authority is needed. Lastly, it is argued that within the Korean context, the preacher‟s “reasonable authority” should have the Word of God as its foundation. Chapter 5 demonstrates three key aspects of the preacher‟s ethos by highlighting the following: firstly, three kinds of proofs for structural principles, i.e. persuasion by moral character (ethos); persuasion by putting the hearer into a certain emotional frame of mind (pathos); and persuasion by the speech itself, when the truth or apparent truth (logos) is established. Secondly, an important rule for the preacher‟s ethos, namely that listeners must trust and feel connected with the speaker. Thirdly, the attitude of the audience as an important element that influences and even constructs the speaker‟s character. Chapter 6 presents four key aspects of preaching in crisis as related to the preacher‟s ethos by pointing out the following: firstly, preachers cannot be separated from their preaching. Secondly, a large part of preparation for preaching is the preachers‟ own personal preparation – the impact from the pulpit is indeed tied to their own moral character and ethos. Thirdly, the most importance aspect of the preachers‟ ethos in preaching is the danger of their possible inconsistent lifestyle. Preachers‟ talk should be supported and balanced by their walk. Lastly, the key point of the preachers‟ ethos related to their congregations is that, in their minds during preparation of the sermons, there should always be recognition of the reality of a listening audience. Chapter 7 focuses on ethos related to two areas: firstly, the development of the preachers‟ ethos. Secondly, some suggestions for the development of their ethos concern five aspects, such as their vocation, spirituality, reading, prayer and “glory”." @default.
