Preacher and spirituality: Perspectives from the Pastoral Epistles

Abstract

In an attempt to supply guidelines for the renewal of contemporary mainline churches and the recovery of their vitality, the main aim of this article is to investigate the Scriptural foundation of spirituality and its implications in the light of the Pastoral Epistles. Furthermore, guidelines for a Scriptural praxis aimed at enhancing the preacher’s spirituality are provided. The preacher’s spirituality and guidelines for the praxis of spirituality will be investigated both from basis-theoretical and practice- theoretical perspectives.
