What is the role of authenticity in preaching? Should it equate to authority? Why or Why not? Here are 4 things preachers should keep in mind when discussing the term authenticity:
- The preacher is an important component of all homiletic views and thus who the
preacher is and how the preacher acts is important whether it is in terms of authority
or discipleship. - Preaching in a true-like fashion is important just as we preach truth. How important
it is depends on your assumptions of what preaching is and where authority resides. - Style does affect the reception of the message. But we must be careful not to fall into
the trap of using style to appear authentic. - The preacher’s authenticity can be a vehicle through which God speaks to the congregation.
