Description
Summary:This essay cannot explore in detail all the variations put forth as definitions of liturgical preaching, but a look at some of the characteristics of the relationship between liturgy and preaching in the post-Vatican II era reveals commonalities. These liturgical scholars and homileticians, among others, in essence, give us a view of liturgical preaching that is many things: centered in scripture, concerned with the assembly, Christological, and animated by the Holy Spirit. Most importantly, liturgical preaching links the preached word with the worship itself, understanding that worship is first and foremost kerygmatic by virtue of its intention to do what God's word does: proclaim the Gospel of Christ Jesus. It can do this in a myriad of forms and with many ancillary goals.
