    Staff This course is devoted to the hermeneutical and homiletical problem of preaching from the Old Testament. In this course, this broader issue will be engaged via a focused treatment of a selected text-base. Various texts from that corpus will be covered in an attempt to lay bare their exegetical and theological resources that are well-suited for the homiletical and rhetorical task. Moreover, the problem of how to move from text to sermon, particularly from an Old Testament text to a sermon from the Old Testament (i.e., the question of developing a homiletical-hermeneutic for preaching the Old Testament) will be addressed. Prerequisite: PR610-649; OT520
