Inductive elements in pulpit communication of pentecostal churches / Dissertation

Discontent with preaching as mode of communication is the
problem statement of this study.
The authoritative nature of deductive preaching is mirrored by
the exploratory, "discovery nature" of inductive models, emphasizing how dialogical preaching is enhanced by incorporating inductive elements into preaching. Meaning production and levels of meaning were studied, and a hermeneutical model for Pentecostal churches were proposed.
Dialogical preaching as attitude and principle as well as method was looked at, and the role of interactive participative communication in the dialogic process was described.
Special emphasis was placed on the Parable, the metaphor and
narrative preaching as models for inductive preaching, and the
development and phases of the "plot" was examined.
Bridging models between inductive and deductive styles were
explored, while two dialogical tools for preparation of sermons
were designed. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th.M. (Practical theology)
