Kontakt homiletyczny

Abstract

Homiletic contact is a two-way interaction occurring between the preacher and listeners, connected with exchange of information and human experiences, which is accompanied by God’s sanctifying action. Its external form is homily. On the one hand its efficiency is conditioned by the action of God’s grace. On the other, on the side of the human factor, in the light of the communication theory, also the following main factors influence it: the features of the sender (the preacher), the features of the transmission (the contents of the homily, its structure and form), the transmission channel (the way through which the transmission happens), and the features of the receiver (listener of God’s word).
