D.T. Niles’ theory of preaching : a Reformation assessment / D.S.T. KaroonKaroon, David S. Thevendran January 2015 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain to what extent D.T. Niles’ theory of preaching is Reformed and Biblical and can help in the dialogue between Western and Non-Western Christianity. The study achieves this aim by employing the qualitative case-study research to meet four objectives. First, it describes Niles’ theory of preaching as found in his trilogy of lectures on preaching, explicating especially the double calling of the preacher, the double content and the pneumatological character and nature of preaching, the three-fold purpose and double consequences of preaching. Second, it interprets Niles’ theory of preaching in the light of his own cultural background and in dialogue with the works of key Reformation figures including Erasmus, Zwingli, Luther, Calvin and Bullinger’s Second Helvetic Confession. Based on this examination, the study determines that Niles’ homiletical theory is in concert with the theology of preaching of the Magisterial Reformers as summarised in Bullinger’s classic statement: ‘The preaching of the word of God is the word of God’ . Third, this study evaluates critically Niles’ theory of preaching within the normative context of the preaching of Jesus in the Synagogue in Nazareth and the wider New Testament teaching on preaching and finds that Niles’ homiletical theory is in agreement with Scriptural norm. Fourth, having found Niles’ theory of preaching to be broadly in concert with the understanding of the Reformers and the Biblical teaching on the nature of preaching, this study undertakes the pragmatic task of developing a global theology of preaching that would promote dialogue between Western and Non-Western Christianity. This study was undertaken because of the dearth of theologies of preaching written from a Non-Western perspective and the lack of dialogue between Western and Non-Western homiletical theories. The result of the investigation is the conclusion that the preaching of the word of God is the word of God since preaching is a pneumatological event where God is present in the act of human preaching so long as the preacher himself is lawfully called and the content of his preaching is Christological and soteriological. / PhD, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

An analysis of sermons : expository preaching in the Southern African contextJohnston, Clanton Clyde 04 1900 (has links)
This doctoral thesis entails a research project to determine
whether grass roots preachers in a southern Africa context can be
instructed to prepare effective expository sermons. In order to
make that determination it was necessary to first collect and
analyze expository sermons from such preachers prior to any
instruction. Then, on the basis of instruction in expository
preaching in a seminar format, it was necessary to collect and
analyze additional sermons from the same preachers.
To that end we conducted two five-day seminars in Zimbabwe
and South Africa respectively. The content of those seminars
included two major elements. The first was a theology of
preaching that is detailed in Chapter 1. Within a theology of
preaching we have given treatment to various topics including the
need for a theology of preaching, the Old Testament basis for
preaching, the New Testament mandate for preaching, a definition
and defense of expository preaching, and a discussion of the
necessary qualities of effective expository preaching. The
second element of the seminars involved a method of preaching
detailed in Chapter 2. Within the method of preaching we have
given treatment to various topics, including the role of the
Holy Spirit in preaching, exegesis of the sermon text, and
making the transition from the text to the completed sermon.
Given the foundational material of Chapters 1 and 2, we
developed the seminar materials found in Chapter 3. Chapter 4
includes the schedules by which the sermons were analyzed. Each
sermon was subjected to the same schedule to determine its
effectiveness as an expository sermon. Those results are then
analyzed in Chapter 5 leading to the conclusion that grass roots
preachers in a southern Africa context can indeed be instructed
to preach effective expository sermons. / Practical Theologyy / D. Th. (Practical Theology)
