Transforming Preaching Through Psychosocial Theology: A New Homiletic Approach

Author(s) Dr. Pinaki Burman
Country India
Abstract The transforming potential of incorporating psychosocial theology into preaching is examined in this research, which also suggests an original, theologically sound, and contextually grounded homiletic technique. The profound psychological and social aspects of human experience that influence how sermons are heard and absorbed may be overlooked by traditional homiletics, which frequently emphasise theological explication or rhetorical presentation. This study provides a paradigm for preaching that considers listeners’ existential, relational, and emotional realities by using interdisciplinary concepts from the fields of psychology, sociology, and theology. It makes the case that sermons based on psychosocial theology might promote more spiritual participation, empathy, and resilience—particularly in communities that are dealing with social instability, trauma, or marginalisation. This study promotes a change from merely informative preaching to transformative proclamation—where the pulpit becomes a venue for healing, empowerment, and holistic faith formation—through case studies, theological reflection, and examination of preaching methods. In addition to reinvigorating the preacher’s vocation, this new homiletic model reinterprets preaching as a dynamic act of spiritual and psychosocial care.
