A Fallicy of Today's Preaching

 Os Guiness (1993) provides a provocative introduction to the concerns of content and curriculum selection: …it is worth pondering a New Yorker lament about what is lost in the brave, new “audience-driven” preaching of the day: “The preacher, instead of looking out upon the world, looks out upon public opinion, trying to find out what the public would like to hear. Then he tries his best to duplicate that, and bring his finished product into a marketplace in which others are trying to do the same. The public, turning to our culture to find out about the world, discovers there is nothing but its own reflection. The unexamined world, meanwhile, drifts blindly into the future.”
