Revitalizing Preaching for the Post-Pandemic Generation

By Andrew Cho

As the post-pandemic world reshapes lives and values, a growing number of young people are leaving Christian communities-alienated by messages that feel distant, top-down, and tone-deaf to their realities. This book tackles that crisis through a compelling case study of postpandemic Korean Christianity, uncovering the cultural, social, and theological forces behind the growing disconnect. Blending empirical research with theological depth, the author challenges stagnant models of preaching and proposes a new homiletic that is dialogical, socially accountable, and transformative. Drawing on theological, sacramental, hermeneutical, and homiletical insights, this work reimagines Christian proclamation for a new era-speaking meaningfully to the questions, struggles, and hopes of a searching generation. A must-read for anyone concerned about the future of the Church and the next generation.

"This book offers forward-thinking ideas based on solid theory for Christian communication that is relevant to Koreans and anyone seeking to share the Gospel with young people in today's culturally evolving landscape." -Rev. Dr. Sangyil Sam Park, Professor of Preaching, Graduate Theological Union & Berkeley School of Theology
