In this study, the writings of Charles Spurgeon are explored to promote an eloquence or rhetoric of the Holy Spirit for preaching theory and practice, which in turn, underscores an emerging theory of gospel-oratory, distinct in purpose and kind from traditional rhetorical theory. Spurgeon's “rhetoric of the Spirit” discovers a four-fold theory for gospel communication: speaker, message, audience, and God. Therefore, while Spurgeon embraces traditional rhetorical theory and upholds an oratorical purpose of instructing, pleasing, and moving; a rhetoric of the Spirit adds prayer and testimony to this preaching purpose. Similarly, to the five canons of rhetoric, traditionally associated with Aristotle, there is added a sixth canon, which refers to the immediate and partial inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the presence of the preaching event. The preaching event, therefore, is understood as a “plural-event” in which God pairs his voice with the preacher's voice, such that God's voice is heard in the soul of the hearer while the preacher prayerfully speaks the Bible with his human and fallable voice. Furthermore, communication problems deeper than “noise” and misunderstanding exist, constituting preaching as an act of spiritual warfare, which aims to overcome and heal the effects of sin and Satan in the human soul. Implications for preparation, style, and delivery of sermons are offered, including the use of imagination and emotion when preaching. What results is a homiletic understanding, which constitutes preaching, not as a solitary act, but as a communal activity of sovereign instrumentality, by which God becomes the primary rhetor in the preaching event for the Christ-ward transformation of the souls of both preacher and hearer. Spurgeon's historical setting forms the context for this study, offering hints at application for contemporary homiletic theory and practice with suggestions for further study.Subjects--Topical Terms:
