Sammendrag
The main subject of this article is how to define preaching. The author
argues that preaching is a communication not only involving words but also life
and deeds. The investigation works as the point of departure. The young people
started out with conformity to the inherited understanding of preaching as words
but, when challenged to reflection, opened up the concept to include the significance
of how they live among their friends as perhaps the most influential preaching:
love in action; goodness without second thoughts of recompensation. Such actions
have a potential to reach far outside the church walls. In the second part of the
article, the author presents some recent contributions on preaching, which
challenge the inherited understanding of preaching only as speech. This is done
without devaluating the words. Jesus is the model. His preaching combined words
and deeds, as our preaching to young people also should do.
