Book excerpt: The focus of this volume is the practice of preaching as it is developed and performed in today’s revolutionary context of digital technology and social media. In the twentieth century, the Christian pulpit adopted and made good use of digital technology and social media, be it via television, radio, film, cassette, or CD-ROM. Now, the revolutionary nature of digital technology and social media in the twenty-first century demands an entirely new theological assessment, with methodological adoptive concerns in relation to the practice of preaching. In this volume, a group of global homileticians provides their unique insights to the following questions and more. What technologies do we have at our disposal, and what technologies can we use in connection with preaching? If any, do we have a fine homiletical theology of digital technology and social media? What are the best practices of preaching that can be conducted with current digital technology and social media platforms? What merits and harms have we found in those best practices? What new homiletical strategies are emerging in the current technological and social media context? What contributions or connections do we see from existing homiletical theories in the current context of preaching?
