Models of Preaching and Preaching in Context

This course explores preaching in the contemporary context. Particular attention will be given to the ethos and theology of preaching in the Anglican tradition, but other denominational traditions will also be discussed. The course focuses on attending to diversities of style and cultural background among preachers in today's churches. Exemplars of these distinct approaches to preaching will be encountered in the course, and students will be encouraged to think critically and theologically about such different approaches to delivering a sermon. Consideration will also be given to one's own identity as a preacher, as well as how this relates to the other identities present in one's audience.
