This dissertation argues that vulnerability is an essential dynamic for Christian preaching that may be fostered through theologically alert, embodied voice training in the preaching classroom. Philosophical and theological support are provided by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who understands discipleship as the call to embody the vulnerability of God in Christ, Emmanuel Levinas, who argues that other-centeredness is fundamental to humanity's very nature, and Karl Barth, who argues that I have no being apart from the other and that the concept of the human being as an individual subject is utterly non-Christian. I explore the vital soil of actor training to show how homileticians can foster vulnerability in the preaching classroom. Particular attention is given to Jerzy Grotowski's emphasis on freeing the body from habitual masks and Kristin Linklater's emphasis on "freeing the natural voice" so that the voice reveals rather than hides the person. Then three resistances to vulnerability in preaching are uncovered, revealing why this essential dynamic is so often absent and sometimes even thought to be inappropriate. The first resistance is holding to a doctrine of preaching that emphasizes God's activity and minimizes human activity to such an extent that preachers' presence and particularity are not sufficiently acknowledged and are even viewed as a barrier. This stance is problematic because preachers are inevitably there in the pulpit; furthermore, God has called them to be there and not to hide. The second resistance concerns authority. Too often, an unreasonable amount of authority is given to or demanded by preachers, or preachers struggle to accept the inevitable authority of their position. In each case, the person who has been called is hidden rather than revealed. The third resistance is patriarchy, a cultural structure based on a rigid gender binary and a hierarchy that separates us from one another. Patriarchy attacks and shames the innate human capacity to repair relationships so that relational ruptures are seen as irreparable and separation inevitable. In the conclusion, a master class for homileticians is outlined that raises their awareness of these resistances and provides them with concrete ways to foster vulnerability in the preaching classroom.
