Instruction in preaching biblical narratives, with attention to theological development. Students preach twice and receive evaluations from the professor and fellow students. Based on an exegetical and theological interpretation of a narrative pericope, this course prepares students to preach the Word of God by integrating and applying the trans-historical intention of a biblical narrative to life and ministry. This course employs a learning model centered on student practice and critique. Students will learn best by listening carefully to all the sermons preached and critiques offered, and sincerely receiving the feedback given directly to them. (At times, enrollment may be limited to 15 students.)
