"Preaching" is the word that everybody knows, but nobody knows what it meant. In the minds of most people the term is synonymous with propaganda or promoting any religious doctrines and ideas. In General it is. However, this concept has many different shades, which would be nice to find a person living in polirelihiynyy the country. So what is the message? With this we will try to understand in this article.

what is preaching

Precise definition

In fact, there is no single answer to the question of what a sermon is. This concept is very broad, and it is impossible to give a succinct, concrete definition. By itself, religious life is already a sermon, and therefore it is impossible to separate the life of the believer the man from his promises to the world around. In the narrow sense of the word sermon is speech intended to convey to the recipient some idea of the religious nature. This understanding is most common, but in fact it is only one facet of the term. Below we will try to deal with all of them, but first turn to the etymology.

Origin of the concept

To Understand what a sermon is, we will help the old Slavonic language in which the term is used in three basic values. First – it is actually the sermon, i.e., the spread of religious ideas. Second – predvidenie prophecy. Third – the petition. The word is formed from the root "Vedas” meaning “know”, “manage” and ascending to proto-Indo-European language. The term “preaching” is translated into the Russian language there are many terms with Greek and Hebrew languages used in the Bible. Therefore, to talk about the exact meaning of the word can only be based on the context.

Orthodox sermons

Kerygma

The First and most important to our culture is the notion of kerygma as basic religious teaching. Christian missionaries of the first centuries, spreading their doctrine, so called message, which in a condensed and generalized form was contained the fundamentals of the faith without going into dogma and the mystery component. As a rule, in kerygma included the proclamation of the death and resurrection of the messenger of God, Jesus Christ. His aim she had left with other religious belief and interest to bring him to Christianity.

Message

God's sermon as a kind of special news, the news (often good, or good) – this is a characteristic, almost a technical term in the New Testament. It is based on the Greek term "Angelo" - "notify”. It should be noted that in the form of good news (the“gospel”) he was often left without translation.

Christian sermons

Speech

Two Greek words ‘LEGO” and “laleo”, which means “to speak”, “say”, can also be translated as “preaching”. This becomes possible if we are talking about the performance, dedicated to the God, or the word, inspired of God.

Call certificate

Public speech, which means the Greek word ‘pricesoma”, can also have the character of sermons. The Christian apostles and evangelists were often sharing their faith and the city forum that was made during the time of the Roman Empire.

Other synonyms

In the Bible there are other concepts that are translated in Russian and Slavic language as “preaching”. It can be an inventory story, and even testimony. However, these are isolated cases, and does not make sense to discuss in detail.

Oral sermon

If we examine the religious, including the Orthodox, the sermons, we are usually talking about the oral teachings. In this case, again, there are various forms. Partly they overlap with those that we have described above. The main forms of such communication are messages, prophecies, teachings, and propaganda.

the sermon of Patriarch

Message

Orthodox sermons (and not just Orthodox), the nature of the message are intended to convey to the listener a particular set of information. This kind of training, which may have different nature, depending on who is the recipient – an unbeliever, or already believers and Church people. In any case, the purpose of this sermon – to arouse interest in the product of spiritual culture.

The Prophecy

What is the prophetic sermon, hard to say, if we ignore the definition, which can be translated as "inspired of God”. From a religious point of view, such speech is not a product of the human mind. The latter invests only in words put in him over the message, the contents of which he is not responsible. The aim of its such a sermon has directed people their true position in the context of any situation and the proclamation of God's will about them. Sometimes this message may contain elements of prediction. The prophet does not speak on his own behalf, he is the mediator between the divine power and the addressee. Literally the Greek “profit” (the prophet) means by “calling”. His task-to convey to the people what they want and expect God to call them to action for the sake of obedience to a higher will. But the prophet is an intermediary, it is not intended to convince anyone. In addition, such a preacher has no right to declare what he wants, what he feels right, if he doesn't get to the sanctions above.

Teaching

This format is also called didaskalia (from the Greek “didaskali” - “teacher”). Precept is, for example, the sermon of Patriarch or another clergyman after the service. It is aimed at the already faithful people, and has the purpose of maintaining religious interest, lifestyle and spiritual practice, Recalling the already known things and explaining certain aspects of them.

God preaching

Campaign

This fully missionary sermon. Mainly it is aimed at non-believers in order to convert them to their faith. Sometimes, though, the target audience for such a sermon may consist of a completely valid religious people when you need to involve them in any case. So, for example, in the middle Ages the bishops campaigned his congregation to mobilize for the Crusades. Similarly, the Protestant preachers attract their parishioners to pay tithing, and some Orthodox pastors – to the war with the Jews, the Freemasons and the LGBT community. In all cases, the goal of the propaganda of preaching – to encourage listening to any particular activity.

Other sermons

In the broader meaning of the word under the preaching can be understood as a written work or musical creativity. In addition, the iconography and in General the material component of spiritual culture is often viewed as a form of religious proclamation. As has been said, preaching can serve, and the way of life. In the end even death can testify to the faith and to have a missionary importance, as was the case with the martyrs.
