Franx Prassl: Are there studies about the history of sermons in the way of a
dialogue preacher - community?
I don't know how relevant this is, but the diatribe of the classical world,
which is often taken as indicative of preaching, also involves a lively
dialogical element. My own feeling is that this is largely stereotyped, but
it may provide some useful comparative material.

contribution to the reception of the diatribe as a method of exposition" in
