This writer tries to examine the current situation regarding the sermon criticism of Korean churches and propose a few things to establish the foundation of biblical preaching in Korean churches through this paper. In fact, the word, sermon criticism is being used very rarely not only in the Korean churches but also in the Western churches. And it can not be easily found in the western homiletic world as far as books or papers regarding the sermon criticism are concerned. In the midst of this current situation, Korean churches begin to have a great interest in a sermon criticism.But the sermon criticism based on the wrong theology might be cause for wrong preaching and a great danger to impede wholesome words. On the other hand, the interest regarding the right sermon criticism based on biblical theology will play a far bigger part in making the pulpit as the word of truth. For this purpose, I will take a look at the history of sermon criticism in Korean churches. Then secondly, I would like to analyze the contents of the sermon criticism and evaluate its validity. Finally, I try to make five suggestions in order to make right sermon criticism settled in Korean churches. First, the biblical homiletic theology should be in a triangular position for the right sermon criticism of the pulpit of Korean churches. Second, for the balanced criticism, preachers and their sermon must be studied simultaneously. Third, sublation of criticism with a critic's viewpoint to his heart's content and a hermeneutical critique attitude toward analyzing the sermon with respect of preachers’intention must be provided. Fourth, the same interest not only in the preachers’body of sermon but also in the delivery of sermon must be needed as well.
Fifth, a sermon must be comprehended under the live worship circumstance on account of a sermon being dynamic in the background of every service. The word of God through preaching is not an object of a critique but the object of obedience. But preaching can be developed by the creative criticism. I hope that the pulpit experiences the holy change in every sermon in accordance with sermon criticism positioning as a constructive academic field, and with the sermon of Korean churches putting down new roots in the Bible drastically, and permeating into auditors’lives accurately.
