HOMILETICS I<br />
Good preaching is the practice <strong>of</strong> good theology. Practice preaching is one <strong>of</strong><br />
the most effective ways <strong>of</strong> integrating a seminarian's theological, spiritual, <strong>and</strong><br />
pastoral formation. The class is conducted as an apprentice workshop (practice<br />
preaching <strong>and</strong> class criticism). There are a few lectures to work out guiding rules<br />
<strong>and</strong> some required readings.<br />

HOMILETICS II: APPROACHES TO NARRATIVE PREACHING<br />
The second required Homiletics course is team-taught. The instructors<br />
separately explain <strong>and</strong> demonstrate a single method to prepare <strong>and</strong>/or construct<br />
a homily, <strong>and</strong> the students practice the specific skills. The purpose is to teach<br />
new, helpful strategies to regular preachers for moving from the lectionary<br />
readings toward a homily. (3rd Year Only)<br />

GOSPEL OF LUKE<br />
In this study <strong>of</strong> Luke's gospel, we emphasize a canonical reading <strong>of</strong> the text, focusing<br />
on the context provided by the gospel itself as a unified work, as well as<br />
upon the contextual significance <strong>of</strong> both the Old <strong>and</strong> New Testaments. General<br />
questions concerning the historical context, structure, <strong>and</strong> composition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Synoptic Gospels will also be addressed. A major objective <strong>of</strong> the class is to facilitate<br />
the integration <strong>of</strong> biblical exegesis into the spirituality <strong>of</strong> diocesan priesthood.<br />
