La prédication apparaît dans la Bible comme un relais de ce que Dieu a dit de Lui-même et de Ses actions, et des hommes en relation avec Lui, plus une pression de Ses commandements, promesses, avertissements et assurances, en vue de gagner le ou les auditeurs... à une réponse positive.

Preaching appears in the Bible as a relaying of what God has said about Himself and His doings, and about men in relation to Him, plus a pressing of His commands, promises, warnings, and assurances, with a view to winning the hearer or hearers…to a positive response.
