Protestantische Predigtlehre

Today the sermon is still the characteristic medium of Protestant Christianity. Thus homiletics is always a place of self-understanding about what Protestantism is and what its duties are, the communication about the content, the forms and the intentions of the sermon is a part of the responsibility for the future of Protestantism and the church. Of course it cannot be understood without taking a look at the history of homiletics. Ruth Conrad and Martin Weeber present current concepts as well as classical texts on the theory of sermons and put each of them in their historical, systematic and pragmatic contexts by combining them with an introduction. The volume contains basic well-known homiletic texts as well as texts which were relatively unknown up to now.
