Description
The current homiletical world is rife with identity politics and intersectionality, yet modern Lutheran engagements tend to be ships passing in the night. This sectional will situate considerations of the person of the preacher as a historical and foundational Lutheran homiletic whilst maintaining faithfulness to the authority of the Word and the proclamation of the Gospel. A theoretical consideration called “Embodied Superintendence” will be offered that centers the preaching task of the Gospel of Jesus Christ while allowing cultural identity to be formative in helpful ways: holding to the Lutheran belief that God is speaking through the preacher, considerations of his cultural identity can form and inform the ways in which the preaching task is effected, particularly in regards to the preacher’s study and preparation, character and personality.
