Preaching to Urban Indian Millennials: A Study in Practical Theology

By Joshua Kenneth George

With a foreword by Derek Tidball

Millennials are the highest generational population in India, making them an important generation to understand and reach for the growth of the gospel in the nation. For this reason, Dr. Joshua Kenneth George examines the attitudes of millennials in urban settings to preaching by making use of Swinton and Mowat's revised critical correlation model of Practical Theology. Through engagement with the social sciences, homiletical literature, and qualitative research methods, George identifies the six components of preaching as the content, preacher, communication, setting, listener, and teleology of the message. The purpose of preaching is clarified as the transformation of the listener and suggestions are given for how to develop such relevant and engaging sermons. While based in the Indian context, preachers around the world will benefit from this book's timely and practical insights for reaching younger generations within a digital age.
