Wie hört der moderne Mensch? Zur Hörbarkeit der Predigt unter den Bedingungen mediatisierter Kommunikation

Abstract Employing the theory of mediated communication (Uwe Sander) the article describes characteristics of how listeners hear a sermon. As they themselves decide on their distance or proximity towhat is being said, efforts by the preacher to force a close interaction seem not to be inviting. A genuine interest of the preacher in the situation is more adequate. In a good sermon the preacher presents and justifies how the text is convincing to him.
