Journal Title: Poznańskie Studia Teologiczne - Year 2014, Vol 28, Issue
Abstract
At the turn of the 17th century in the royal town of Wschowa lived and worked the famous Lutheran pastor Valerius Herberger, called “little Luther” – considering his eager preaching, pastoral activity and outstanding theological works. Deserving particular attention is his preaching, which can be regarded as a model also for contemporary, not only Protestant, preachers. They can imitate him in passion for the Gospel of God; in consistent and committed application of the rule that during sermons one should proclaim nothing else but Jesus Christ – the crucified Savior; in being always – even until death – eager, strenuous, uncompromising, brave, creative and joyful witnesses of the faith; in masterful linking in sermons the theological elements with anthropological ones – the word of God with human everyday puzzles; in pastoral, sometimes heroic, care of all the “plagued” of our times; in using in one’s preaching the simple, colorful, pictorial language of listeners’ experiences; and finally in practicing both from the pulpit and during pastoral work the “theology of the heart” which was so characteristic of his sermons.Keywords
