Description / Abstract
For effective proclamation we need to engage in a double exegesis. We need to study Scripture and theology as it grows out of our biblical studies, as well as the people to which we minister and the culture in which they live. It seems to me that pastors by their education are well equipped for the first exegesis, and missionaries for the second. It is somehow assumed that pastors speak the language of their audience and understand the signs of the times. But do they really? I think it was Karl Barth who said that the pastor should be versed in two books: the Bible and the newspaper. In our informational society we need to expand the newspaper to include television, magazines, Internet, movies and videos.
Much of the literature and preaching on holiness reflects a zealous engagement in the first exegesis. But the second is mostly missing, resulting in ineffective communication, because both the messenger and the message are out of touch.
In this article I want to do two things. First, to give a brief summary of my exegesis of European culture as it developed in the 20th century. This summary is far from complete and reflects my own view. My second step is to draw some conclusions from my exegesis for the proclamation of sanctification in Europe.
