Application in expository preaching is the hermeneutical mechanism to bridge the gap between the ancient world and the contemporary world. In response to the absence of a well-balanced theoretical relevance model in hermeneutical areas and a lack of a life-changing application paradigm in contemporary homiletics, this dissertation is to suggest the necessity of a legitimate application paradigm. I attempt to identify the necessity of a hermeneutical application paradigm by redrawing the relationship between hermeneutics and application and by reexamining some scholarsapplication paradigms. In reevaluating a few application models, I point out the following reasons of the necessity for an appropriate application paradigm: (1) the ostensible gaps, (2) some limitations and inappropriateness of recent applicational bridge paradigms, and (3) the need of a legitimate application paradigm rooted in biblical and historical models. With the seven reasons of the dispensability of an application paradigm in mind, this study suggests the necessity of further examinations: (1) hermeneutical foundations, (2) biblical models, (3) historical prototypes, and (4) the four-bridge application paradigm.
