Rezumat: The Structure and Content of the Missiological Sermon in Acts. The speeches in Acts are direct ones, and not indirect speeches, as in the heathen history (Martin Dibelius: Aufsätze zur Apostelgeschichte, 1951). In connection with the missiological sermon we have to acknowledge that from the form’s point of view whatever terms are involved, generally determinant is the natural and topic based human talk. This statement is valid for o`mile,w, which cannot be called oratory. We think here about the natural human talk, which serves the communication of certain content without any wiliness. Meantime we do not have to forget that some synonyms of the word ‘sermon’ have a specific connotation. For instance, diafhmi,zw refers to urgency and expansion, while pei,qw points to convincing force and impulsive reaction.All these are in such a relation to the content and form of the uniform sermon, as different colors to the single artistic painting.Herman Ridderbos discusses about the speeches in the Acts in synthesis. We agree with him concerning the structure of the sermons, which show that identical elements occur in each of them. For instance, it can be mentioned the three speeches of Peter in Acts chapters 2–3 and 10, where after the introduction follows the testimony about Jesus the Nazarene. This testimony contains various parts: a. God appointed Jesus, b. his miracles, c. his death and resurrection, d. correlation with the Old Testament, e. his exaltation, f. the authority of his apostles, as witnesses. After all these follows the admonition, which consists of: a. appeal for conversion mentioning the judgment, b. of the heathens. This pattern, which can be observed with small adjustments in Acts chapter 13 in the sermon of Paul, and determines the content of the chapters 17, 20, 22 and 26, is not an invention of Luke, but the fundamental model of the historic and apostolic sermons.In the structure of the sermons there can be distinguished four component parts on the basis of common motives: eschatology |
