Preaching
Mark Tully evaluates a range of preaching and considers what makes a good or a bad sermon.
Mark Tully evaluates a range of preaching and considers what makes a good or a bad sermon.
The Dominican Friars are known as the Order of Preachers, and Mark speaks with former Master of the Order, Brother Timothy Radcliffe, about how the balance of preaching has changed on the whole from hellfire and damnation to Good News.
Mark's copy of Webster's dictionary defines a sermon as, "a serious reproof or exultation expressed at tedious length," but Brother Timothy believes preachers must not climb into the pulpit and preach down at their congregation. He says, "They can, and should, lead listeners to have life and to have it abundantly."
