Pasquarello The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to the theology and practice of preaching as situated with the life and activity of the Triune God, the economy of creation and redemption as confessed in the faith of the church. A primary aim is to facilitate a better understanding of the practice of preaching as theological in nature, of God from beginning to end, an activity in which we participate through the presence of Christ and the Holy Spirit by means of the Scripture within the liturgical life of the church. The core objectives of this course have been established to encourage a critical understanding of and competence in view of 1) preaching as a witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed in the whole of Christian Scripture; and 2) preaching as both a gift of the Holy Spirit and pastoral vocation which serves the formation of a community called to worship the Triune God. This course will approach this task from the perspective provided by the Trinitarian faith of the church, and its particular expression in the Wesleyan tradition. Sermons will be preached and evaluated in order to assist students in cultivating a habit of integrating theology and practice. Prerequisites: SP501, Inductive Bible Studies-2.

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.
