Metropolite Bartholomew - Outline of a Homiletic Portrait

Summary/Abstract: This portrait emphasizes certain aspects regarding the ministry of His Holiness Bartolomeu, with an actual reference to the main homiletic "strategies". Due to the lack of space, the author resumes to giving an outline of a homiletic portrait for now, but has in mind, for the nearest future, an in-depth analysis of the preaching of Metropolitan Bartolomeu, in some specialized studies, dissertations and doctoral theses. This outline is developed in paragraphs with suggestive titles: Recent testimonies and confessions; A sermon - something "serious"; Proof that it is possible; Some of the main homiletic "strategies"; Charismatic preacher. Besides describing certain relevant aspects regarding the preaching of His Holiness, and the substance of his sermons, the style, the persuasive power, father V. Gordon presents other useful information referring to the success/lack of success of a sermon, such as: the importance of continuous perseverance of a famous homilist, the positive role of publishing, the idea of „resistance to persuasion", the importance of empathic interaction with the listeners, the notion of „charismatic preacher", etc.
