sermon. This conception was derived from Aristotle and Luther’s influence it again began to be used both in preaching and in the interpretation of the scripture.
His textual exposition is an exemplary model to the evangelical preachers. He has connected the homiletical explanation of scripture to scripture’s own central message. And he addressed it sharply to mankind.
The contribution of John Calvin:
Calvin was influenced by humanists. Calvin’s doctrine of preaching was not matching with Luther’s work. The preaching idea of Calvin is that the preaching becomes revelation when if God agrees to add to it the Holy Spirit. The Spirit does not speak anything that has not already been said in the scripture. Preaching can be called as the Word …show more content…
There is a number of heritage and also influenced by Anglo culture for this preaching. The first characteristic of this preaching is intonation or whooping. This is considered as a stereotype model. The African – American preachers with professional training claim some proficiency in toning. But, majority of the sermon forms do not have this type of model in their preaching. The whooping style is based on the cultural expectation of the congregations. It is based on the cultural formation of the preacher. The second characteristic is not whooping, but spontaneity, which is the talent to answer to the movement of the spirit among preacher and congregation and to, reveals deep feeling without embarrassment. Expression should be prevails even the preaching is done from manuscript. This pattern is not only the preacher extemporaneity of expression but also that of the audience. This preaching includes the dialogical nature with congregation. A third characteristic of African – American preaching is its basic structure. That is imaginative, narrative and disposed to generate pragmatic encounter. This is an opposition to the Euro-American tradition of intellectual, theme or essay type sermons.

The roots for this approach were planted in the eighteenth century, but in the nineteenth century historical criticism came into its own. Grant points out that the extent and influence of historical criticism was partially determined by the setting where it was promulgated. Previously most study had been carried on in the surroundings of the church or a church-controlled school. Now the scene shifted to the secularized German universities, where distinct philosophical presuppositions guided the historical investigations. The rationalists’ attitude toward miracles was taken for granted: the universe is controlled by fixed laws which allow for no suspension, alteration, or change. The Bible is to be interpreted as any other book. This latter principle in itself is not dangerous unless it is dominated by naturalistic persuasions. We must take seriously the claims that any book makes for itself. Evidence may demand a modification of these claims. Yet many of the investigators of the nineteenth century dismissed those claims of the Bible about itself without even considering their bases. They insisted that the Bible was like any other book, yet at the same time they described it asbeing produced by a complicated array of sources, redactors, and interpolators different from any other literary
