Dissertation
A case for a Spirit -driven methodology of expository preaching
2003
Overview
This dissertation develops and defends a Spirit-driven methodology of expository preaching. Chapter 1 develops a definition of expository preaching that incorporates the ministries of the Holy Spirit. Attention is given to the absence of the Holy Spirit in the literature of preaching, as well as to establishing the Spirit's connection to expository preaching. Chapter 2 deals with Paul's methodology of preaching as described from in 1 Corinthians 2 and emphasizes Paul's preaching as Spirit-empowered, Christ-centered, and Word-based. Chapter 3 deals with the Holy Spirit's involvement in hermeneutics and points specifically to His ministry of illumination as a key component of a Spirit-driven methodology. Chapter 4 provides a theological justification for the Holy Spirit and preaching by analyzing the complementary relationship between the theological categories of Word and Spirit. Chapter 5 focuses on the Holy Spirit in the life of the preacher and address the conversion, call, curriculum, and character of the preacher as a practical justification for the Spirit-driven methodology of expository preaching. Chapter 6 analyzes the role of the Holy Spirit in the actual preparation of the message and posits an incarnational method of preaching that coincides with the Holy Spirit's ministry. Chapter 7 focuses on the presentation of the message and addresses the Holy Spirit's influence upon both the preacher and the congregation. Delivery styles as well as congregational expectations are covered in conjunction with the Spirit's ministry. Chapter 8 focuses exclusively on the Spirit's empowerment and address the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The chapter pinpoints helps and hindrances to the Spirit's empowerment, as well as providing a biblical and experiential basis for the anointing. The conclusion in chapter 9 of the dissertation focuses on the need for evangelicals to involve the Holy Spirit more in the discipline of Christian preaching. By uniting homiletics with pneumatology, Christian preaching can once again be powerful and life-changing.
