Two major conceptions are opposed to each other. On the one hand, Friedrich Schleiermacher's theory of religious speech develops the idea of a sermon in light of subjective creativity, correlating the tradition with the situation of communication. On the other hand, Karl Barth's homiletic links the sermon to the biblical text and its explanation, making sure that a catalogue of criteria preserves the very Christian essence in the reality of preaching. Following Walter Benjamin's understanding of the idea (as distinct from notions and phenomena), this essay argues that an objective interpretation of the idea of sermons (in analogy to works of art) may answer both Schleiermacher's subject-bound concept of communicability and Barth's text- and notion-bound homiletical theory of revelation. The involuntary welling up of the idea as a constellation of aspects in the process of reception enables one to see that the idea of a sermon is more than a subjective construction and more than an objective criterion. Furthermore, the idea as a constellation of formal and material aspects welling up in the moment of reception saves the essence of Christian preaching from being dissolved into an insufficiently grounded rhetorical relativism. © Walter de Gruyter International Journal of Practical Theology Walter de Gruyter 8/1(2004-07-01), 14-33 1430-6921 8:1<14 2004 8 ijpt https://doi.org/10.1515/IJPT.2004.002 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/IJPT.2004.002 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Dober Hans Martin NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- International Journal of Practical Theology Walter de Gruyter 8/1(2004-07-01), 14-33 1430-6921 8:1<14 2004 8 ijpt CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
