12 December 2022 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I keep hearing of more preachers who have bypassed theological training (undergraduate and seminary) and have somehow managed to be hired after a few months of an evangelistic training course.

par Loren Seibold | 5 décembre 2022 | Cet essai a été initialement publié dans le magazine Adventist Today de l’automne 2021. Je suis un exégète avec une orientation vers l’homilétique, c’est-à-dire qu’au cours des années, j’ai interprété des textes pour prêcher Jésus à mes différentes congrégations.
