Die kurze Form der Predigt

How do short sermons work, and why? Angela Rinn shows that Jesus’ parables are paradigmatic short sermons, and examines other short literary forms with respect to their paradigmatic function for short sermons. Additionally, Rinn discusses neuroscientific studies which can help to write listener-oriented short sermons, and presents the results of the practical theological debate. Finally, Rinn presents a homiletic for short sermons based on her Research.
