In today’s age in Christianity we know a lot about other religions and how to “deal” with them. We know how to logically disprove Islam or virtually any other religion. We also know how to scientifically “prove” the historical facts of the Scripture to the Atheist. But lets remember that we’re dealing with an actual person, not a mere belief system.
Preaching must thus be an encounter, an encounter not with a part of a person, not only with his reason, or with his poetic feeling, but an encounter with the entire person, with the whole man, as he exists in this world, as he is in flight from God, as he plays a role in that tremendous drama that is enacted between God and the rebellious human heart.
