Observing the current western church situation, the influence of the emerging church movement arisen with a remarkable growth of emerging churches is increasingly expanding. Following this trend, Korean churches’ surging interest in the emerging churches and the emergent church movement fueled translations and publications of many such related books regardless of favorable or unfavorable views and positions. The fundamental purpose of this study is to, first and foremost, organize and introduce, by selecting Dan Kimball and Mark Driscoll, the actual leaders of the current emerging church movement, certain characteristics of their preaching from the perspective of homiletics. In order to do so, I would like to, first, introduce the emerging church movement that has such immense influence, through continued discussions since mid-1990s, in not only liturgics and homiletics, but also systematic theology, missiology and biblical hermeneutics. Second, distinctions of major leaders within a main emerging church movement are discussed. And among the leaders, preachings of Dan Kimball and Mark Driscoll, who are considered relevants, are extensively considered. Through this kind of study, it is hoped that it may spark in-depth researches on future, although not widespread at the moment, Korean emerging churches and preachings that are currently affected in many ways by the emerging church movement.
