<strong>Attitude as communication barrier (“noise”) in preaching the  Word: basis-theoretical perspectives from the parable of the  sower (Luke 8:4-15)</strong>  Hearers’ attitudes in listening to a sermon still represent a very  topical field of homiletical research. Within this extensive field  the problem of communication barriers (“noise”) in the process  of listening to a sermon is scrutinised in this article. At the  outset three important concepts are defined: preaching, attitude  and noise. The discussion of these aspects is followed by  focusing on the parable  of the sower. Outlined in particular is  the way in which noise and attitude are expressed meta- phorically in this parable. As first step in the process of  discussing the parable, Luke 8:4-15 is positioned within the  macrostructure of Luke, and also within the microstructure of  Luke 8. This specific positioning is followed by a closer  exegetical delimitation of what hearers’ attitude as (possible  source of) noise can imply. Negative aspects functioning as  noise (barriers in receiving  the message) are highlighted,  including the evil presence of Satan in the listening process.  Attention is also devoted to positive factors like spirituality in  which the sower sows the seed of the Word in fertile soil. In  conclusion basis-theoretical perspectives are formulated on  hearers’ attitudes functioning as communication barrier (“noise”)  in listening to a sermon
