The preacher is not an apologist, not a professor, nor a lecturer. He is a herald, an instrument announcing the salvation that God has decreed for men who accept it. The reaction of the Church to this is a thunder of apocalyptic Alleluias. The whole history of the world since Jesus ascended to His Father is simply marking time until the Gospel gets announced to all nations. Then the final purification and . . . Parousia!
