Talk:Sermon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this should not be a disambig page; I think "sermon" should direct the reader straight to the article on the religious oration, which is the vastly more common meaning, and then that article could have at the top something like this: "For the 11th century Balkan ruler, see Sermon (ruler)." Anyone agree or disagree with me on this? Everyking 23:07, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fine by me. -- Infrogmation 23:22, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Agree. The 11th century Balkan ruler, whose article says that he ruled a small fief, issued some coins, and was killed by the Byzantines, doesn't strike me as an important enough figure to dislodge the sermon article from its most obvious place. Smerdis of Tlön 06:52, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just changed this. Please see if this is better:

[edit] Removed section

The section "Sermons and sexual psychology" doesn't fit in this article, and it's unsourced. Anyone is welcome to fix it and put it back. Greg Price 03:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sermons and sexual psychology

In addition, numerous studies have been done on sermons and their connection to other topics such as psychology, linguistics, and gender. One such example is Frances Lee Smith's "The Pulpit and Woman's Place: Gender and the Framing of the 'Exegetical Self' in Sermon Performances," published in Framing in Discourse.

[edit] Sermon is not only a Christian Concept

This entry is really wonderful, but it is a Christian persepctive. Therefore, I suggest changing it to reflect that.

I do not know the history and practice of of Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or even atheistic and humanistic sermons, but I think they should be acknowledged under the general topic "Sermon", and the fact that this is a "christian" perspective should be noted.

Thanks,
