Introduction to Homiletics

Catalog description

Taught by GTU and CDSP. This is a basic (introductory) course in the theory and practice of liturgical preaching. The class will be centered on the practice of preaching by students, as well as the skills of careful listening and the offering of constructive criticism for the benefit of all participants. The particular emphasis of this homiletics course will be on lectionary-based preaching in a eucharistic context. In addition, there will be reading and discussion on various models of homily preparation valuing ecumenical resources, the various texts in any community which contribute to contextualized preaching, as well as some of the important and emerging contemporary issues in preaching. NOTE: Cross-Registration is not permitted during Early Registration. If space is still available when general registration opens in January, non-CDSP students may register at that time.
