How to Preach a Protestant Sermon: A Comparison of Lutheran and Reformed Homiletics
نویسنده
چکیده
The Protestant emphasis on proclaiming God's word resulted in the rejection of the medieval form of the sermon and the development of new styles of preaching. The two models used by Protestant preachers were the classical oration, endorsed by Philipp Melanchthon, and the patristic homily, which was a greater influence for the Swiss reformers. The differences between the two styles of preaching were relatively small during the first several decades after the Reformation, but by the 1580s they had become associated with Lutheran and Reformed preaching respectively. Reformed homiletics texts from the turn of the century reveal their tendency to identify the sermon with the theology lecture and their use of Ramist dialectic, two features which distinguished their sermons from those of their Lutheran counterparts.
