This course explores the discipline of homiletics, the artful verbal communication of the Christian gospel in the context of public worship and beyond. Topics to be considered include the theology of preaching, the role of biblical exegesis in sermon preparation, the forms and aims of the sermon, the place of preaching within the context of Christian worship and the question of effective communication to diverse audiences. We will engage these topics through a combination of directed reading, formative exercises, web-facilitated seminar discussion and summative assessments.
