PRMN 520A - Introduction to Homiletics: Pt 1

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Practice of Ministry

Description:

The foundational course in homiletics. Homiletics is the study of the history, theory (including homiletic theology), and practice of preaching. As such, the course builds on fundamentals of biblical interpretation, classical rhetoric, skills in understanding needs and behaviors of individuals and groups, and the best in modern communication studies. With an awareness that at least some preaching is required of most persons in practically every ministry (pastoral ministry naturally, hospital and military chaplaincies, national and international missions, campus ministries, and more) the course seeks to give students, meeting them wherever they may be in terms of preaching experience, opportunities to establish or enhance their developing expertise with preparing as well as delivering sermons. Students will construct sermon outlines and preach at least one in-class sermon. Reading and/or viewing the sermons of noted preachers past and present is often a part of the course.
