Preachers approach a biblical text from various interpretative horizons: How did Jesus as preacher use a biblical text? What is the role of the Holy Spirit in interpretation and preaching? How can biblical preaching be ecclesially, socially, and professionally responsible? What are the roles of contemplation and community? How does one's worldview or the worldviews of those to whom we preach affect the Word of God? These are some questions we will consider as we reflect on the task of biblical hermeneutics and the grace of preaching.
