RE: The Process of Explanation
It is interesting how you frame the congregation as something that needs to be exegeted just like the text itself. That shift in perspective really highlights how easy it is to miss the connection between ancient struggles and modern life. Do you find that most preachers focus more on the text or the audience when they start their preparation?

A typical sermon in the seminaries is more focused on the text. It's like an academic or an exegetical paper. The task of an exegete-preacher is to properly understand both the ancient text and his contemporary audience.
