  • PTMS36 9: Intermediate Preaching

    3.00 Credits
    Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School

    Gail A. Ricciuti Prerequisite: PT 118 Beyond the basic approaches and skills for sermon development and preaching, a number of deeper questions and issues face the preacher in a parish context. Among them are: - problematic biblical perspectives (and/or conundrums) appropriate to ancient peoples but begging reinterpretation for contemporary believers (including the meaning/use of myth, standpoints on violence, misogyny, universalism and particularity); - the challenge of intracongregational situations, frictions and attitudes; - pastoral occasions related to significant rites of passage in life (baptism, confirmation and profession of faith; weddings; funerals); - the task of addressing Christian social responsibility in the face of societal and global issues particular to our day (including domestic violence; militarism, war and peace; and issues of diversity); and - ways to make preaching vital, engaging and compelling in a media-soaked world. While exploring and addressing these issues, the course will also work with other specific homiletical/contextual problems and predicaments brought to the table by students from within their current settings in ministry.

  • PTMS42 5: Advanced Feminist Preaching

    3.00 Credits
    Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School

    Gail A. Ricciuti Prerequisite: PT 118 The course will familiarize students with the evolving body of thought on homiletics from a feminist perspective and the feminist theologies that undergird such preaching, including a segment on womanist preaching. Particular attention will be given to reading strategies such as gender reversal, analogy and women as exchange objects, and to preaching on issues directly related to women's lives in contemporary society. Students will have opportunities to practice these methodologies by preaching in class.
