The specific content of preaching the word of God in a secularized environment

Szewczyk, Leszek (author)

The proclamation of the word of God must always consider the unchanging Gospel and the present life of the Church and theology, which constitute the correct interpretation of the revealed word of God. The content of preaching the word of God is the good news about Jesus Christ, Lord and Saviour, and, more broadly, God’s revelation and human existential problems. Therefore, the proclamation of the word of God draws its content from the Bible and observation of the world in which contemporary man lives and creates. This study aims to indicate the specific content of preaching the word of God in a secularized environment. This proclamation should lead to faith as a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and show the true God and Jesus Christ – man’s only Saviour. At the same time, it should try to answer people’s questions and desires.

• Title: Specifična vsebina pridiganja o Božji besedi v sekulariziranem okolju

Abstract

Oznanjevanje božje besede mora vselej upoštevati nespremenljivi evangelij in sedanje življenje Cerkve in teologije, to pa naredi interpretacijo razodete božje besede ustrezno. Vsebina pridiganja o njej je vesela ali dobra novica o Jezusu Kristusu, Gospodu in Odrešeniku, a tudi širše: o božjem razodetju in o človeških eksistencialnih težavah. Oznanjevanje božje besede tako utemeljuje svojo vsebino na podlagi Svetega pisma in opazovanja sveta, v katerem sodobni človek živi in deluje. Cilj te študije je, pokazati na specifično vsebino pridiganja o božji besedi v sekulariziranem okolju. To oznanjevanje naj vodi k veri kot osebnemu srečanju z Jezusom Kristusom in kaže na pravega Boga in Jezusa Kristusa, edinega človekovega odrešenika. Obenem pa naj poskuša odgovarjati na vprašanja in hotenja ljudi.
