[http://www.journals.co.za/ej/ejour_verbum.html]1609-9982http://hdl.handle.net/2263/8621In this article preaching and the personality of the preacher are considered as being dialectically related to one other. Preaching, particularly, is the act of the preacher that makes the words meaningful. It seems that congregations often seem closer to the preacher than to the gospel. The real danger for the preacher is not the gospel, but his / her personality. Good preaching comes from a good personality.enFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaPreachingPastoral theologyPublic speaking -- Religious aspectsPersonality -- Religious aspectsArticle
