PR/SC3500 Preaching Paul
A focus on the special opportunities and challenges in preaching from the Pauline
and deutero-Pauline corpus, including particular attention to difficult texts. We
will consider a dialogical hermeneutical and homiletical method for the development
of sermons. There will be an emphasis on competence in the oral performance
of texts and its relationship to the interpretation of texts for preaching.
Oral performance preparation will be workshop based. Two to three sermons will
be preached.

PR3280 Preaching in a Global Context—Travel Course
This course will focus on preaching in diverse contexts through dialogue with
Indian professors and students, sermons preached in Indian Christian communities,
as well as exposure to and interaction with the broader Indian culture. The goal is
to gain some understanding of how the Christian gospel might address matters
of poverty, the environment, immigration, the global economy, health care, education,
and so forth in a developing nation such as India, thus enabling students
to preach on these topics with integrity both abroad and at home in the North
American context.
