COURSE OFFERINGS (1):
1.) HOM501: Homiletics - A course in Homiletics is a crucial part of seminary education. Acquiring, developing, and practicing the Art of Preaching is lifelong spiritual discipline. In this course, the tools, traditions, resources, and methods of preaching are explored in a broad manner. This affords the student the opportunity to review and adopt those means which are akin to their spiritual personality, tradition, and present place of ministry. Specific attention will be given to history and tradition, content and context. Course time is invested in preparation and delivery of sermons, but also to the development of the capacity to evaluate one’s own preaching as well as that of others.
