Thesis (D.Min.)--Asbury Theological Seminary, 2001.

This dissertation focuses on the need for greater effectiveness in preaching flowing from the foundational need of the preacher to be able to connect with those in the congregation. Because of the changes in people in recent years, a method was developed to research and evaluate the means by which those who preached to Generation X audiences were effectively communicating. The hypothesis was that biblical preaching which connects with Generation X can be identified by means of two elements. First, it is identified by the ways in which it seeks to address the distinguishing characteristics of Generation X people. Second, it can be identified by specific qualities inherent in the act of preaching to Generation X people.

520 $a This dissertation focuses on the need for greater effectiveness in preaching flowing from the foundational need of the preacher to be able to connect with those in the congregation. Because of the changes in people in recent years, a method was developed to research and evaluate the means by which those who preached to Generation X audiences were effectively communicating. The hypothesis was that biblical preaching which connects with Generation X can be identified by means of two elements. First, it is identified by the ways in which it seeks to address the distinguishing characteristics of Generation X people. Second, it can be identified by specific qualities inherent in the act of preaching to Generation X people.
520 $a The research project involved listening to and evaluating thirty sermons preached by Generation X practitioners. Three sermons were solicited from each of ten practitioners chosen for study. Each practitioner was evaluated for his/her method of preaching. Specific evaluation categories were related to sermon content, sermon delivery, and the degree to which the sermon was modeled after the teaching style of Jesus. Two specific sermon evaluation tools were designed and used in the course of this study. Each evaluates the sermon in eleven evaluation categories using the Likert scale method and provides the opportunity for the collection of anecdotal evidence as well.
520 $a This study led to the development of a specific model to be used in preaching to postmodern people. This model is made up of four critical qualities of preaching. The first quality of this model is preaching that is Scripture-steeped; postmodern preaching must develop the means to help people experience the Scriptures. Second, postmodern preaching must be relationally engaging; it must draw people toward the process of journeying and growing in community together. Third, it must be highly relevant; our preaching must relate to the individual life of the hearer as well as broader culture at large. Finally, postmodern preaching must become multidimensional; it must deliver truth in a variety of ways which communicate with different personalities and senses by means of a variety of mediums.
