Prophetic Literature: Preaching the Truth

Catalog description

This course involves critical examination of prophetic texts that address preaching as purification of worship. The method of inquiry involves, firstly, exegesis of the prophetic texts to receive the prophetic word; secondly, examination of corresponding historical and literary contexts to determine rhetorical significance; thirdly, exegesis of congregational preaching as worship to establish correlations; and finally, deployment of the appropriate word in a rhetorically creative medium. Prerequisite: BIBL-500
