The Holy Spirit as a Creative Inspiration in Proclaiming the Word of God and an Artistic Inspiration – Similarities and Differences

Summary/Abstract: Comparing pneumatological and artistic inspiration in proclaiming the word of God, we enter the area of psychology of creativity. We touch the issues of the creative process. In the preaching, we examine the relationship between the human and divine components. On the pulpit is preached the word of God, not the own, and therefore the Holy Spirit appears as an inspiration and an ontological quality of the proclaimed Word. It has an invigorating and sanctifying power. This inspiration is more altruistic, communal than artistic inspiration. Although „the Holy Spirit blows wherever it wants” (J 3, 8), the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is more predictable than artistic. The art can be tricky, greedy, even diabolical, about a Faustian face. And artistic inspiration can have such sources, which – of course – is not befitting for preacher. Artistic inspiration and pneumatological inspiration is not a long-term condition, but special moments of grace. If the preacher can not be inspired on the pulpit, he should accept and fulfill the role of a good craftsman.
