According to George Barna’s chronological division of modern generations and their birth years, Generation Xers who were born between 1965 and 1983 have been profoundly impacted by the entertainment culture. Generation Xers get easily bored with unified preaching forms such as “three-point” or “verse-by-verse.” A form-sensitive sermon can attract Generation Xers’ attention because the different forms in the text utilize various modes of language and rhetorical devices. For example, deductive (stentic) or inductive (tensive) modes of language have different functions and different oral rhetorical devices create various experiences. This writer asserts that a form-sensitive sermon is a strategic contact point that delivers the biblical propositional notion to the current generation. This paper will analyze the sociological and cultural background of Generation Xers, and then will explicate the types of literary form, oral rhetorical devices and the language function behind each textual form.
