INT 717 - Preaching the Prophetic Messages of the New Testament

Institution:

Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School

Subject:

Description:

Gay L. Byron/Robert R. Hann Congregations desire to hear how the message of Jesus Christ and the writers of the New Testament have a word for their lives and their struggles. How does the New Testament speak to their experience? Prophetic preaching has the dual focus of exposing and addressing the powers that make up the systems of domination and of equipping God's people to respond to those powers with strategies for resistance, faithfulness, and hope. This course will assist students in developing a biblical theology of prophetic preaching and in identifying relevant texts for proclamation. Biblical themes for proclamation will be discussed and exegesis will be performed on specific New Testament passages.
