Online Preaching

Mannerfelt, Frida LU orcid (2026) p.224-236
Abstract (Swedish)
This chapter gives an overview of the discussions on online preaching. It identifies and provides examples of three common approaches—message-oriented, media-oriented, and ontology-oriented. In addition, it points to a fourth approach that might be fruitful: the practice-oriented. The chapter also suggests four critical areas in which digital homiletics could benefit from being further developed: authority and, in conjunction with that, the question of who can be a preacher in digital culture; typologies and definitions that distinguish between different kinds of online preaching; studies of the listeners’ perspectives; and theologies of preaching in a digital culture.
