Preaching Apocalyptic Texts

The purpose of this course is to help students gain competence in exegetical and homiletical methods that aid Biblical preaching. It sets the following learning goals: 1. understanding the genre apocalypse and its related forms, 2. applying exegetical methods that focus on the text's form or genre, 3. using a variety of homiletical methods which focus on the form of the text, 4. and reflecting on how to use the above skills in a sermon. To meet these learning goals, the instructor is more than happy to help students individually.
