This thesis focuses on a current inundation of mass media in Korean culture and homiletical strategies for the media generation. As the preliminary step, this study explores media theories of Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman who were the most influential media critics in 20th century. On the basis of that, this study researches rapid changes due to modern media development and present changes in the Korean pulpit. In the main body of the thesis, this study suggests four homiletical strategies to create effective messages for media generation. First, a preacher needs to proclaim biblical truths in his messages to provide his audience staunch criteria in the postmodern society. Second, he should implant homiletical authenticity that efforts to faithfully live as he preaches during his ministry. Third, he can increase homiletical effect by using the visual language and storytelling skills. Finally, he needs to emphasize the importance of community in faith to overcome the individualism.
