Summary
Die vorliegende Homiletik geht von einer methodisch kohärenten und interdisziplinär konvergenten Erörterung der Prämissen, Elemente, und Strukturen des Predigtprozesses selbst aus, die in eine zeitgenössische "Theologie der Predigt" mündet. Das Spektrum homiletischer Fragen wird auf verschiedene Sequenzen der Kommunikation des Evangeliums bezogen (z. B. Person, Text, Situation, Struktur, Sprache und Rede) wobei psychologische, semiotische, soziologische und rhetorische u. a. Reflexionsperspektiven zum Tragen kommen. Den Modellen der Predigtanalyse wird ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Predigt- und theologiegeschichtliche Fragen werden in die problemorientierte Durchdringung des Stoffs eingebettet, so dass Studierende, Pfarrer und Lehrende je nach Bedarf optimal mit den Grundlagen und Herausforderungen des Fachs vertraut gemacht werden.
In a dialogue with all of the theological disciplines and also with closely related human and philosophical sciences, this standard work sets out criteria for a contemporary approach to preaching. The assumptions, arguments, models, perspectives and methods for analyzing the homiletic process are presented in an understandable form. Figures and　practical guidelines offer helpful illustrations. This comprehensive and engaging format makes this volume a supportive textbook, a reliable reference work and a stimulating aid for preaching - all in one.
