English | ISBN: 3031078845 | 2022 | 237 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In terms of practical-theology’s critical reflection on marginalized people’s wounds in a wider society, this book investigates the question, "How to proclaim the good news in response to first-generation Korean immigrants’ contextual suffering in the United Sates?" To answer the question, the book starts with investigating Korean immigrant hearers’ contextual predicaments in a new land to point out emerging practical-theological issues in relation to the practice of preaching. In this book, the primary subjects are first-generation Korean immigrants, especially those who have relatively low socio-economic status and struggle with the purpose of their lives as immigrants, particularly those whose material dreams have been shattered.

The fourth volume in Brill’s series A New History of the Sermon, this study examines the sermon during the ‘long’ eighteenth century – the era between Bossuet and Schleiermacher. It offers a broad outline of the history of preaching in this period, an overview of the research over the past three decades, and suggestions for new approaches to the subject. Thematically, the book includes chapters on such topics as the theology of the eighteenth-century sermon, preachers’ instructions, the sermon in daily life, delivery as a means of reaching congregations, and audience reception of preaching. It also pays ample attention to the three important religious and intellectual currents of the long eighteenth century: (Neo-)classicism, Pietism, and the Enlightenment. Contributors are Alexander Bitzel, Francoise Deconinck-Brossard, O.C. Edwards, Joris van Eijnatten, Sabine Holtz, Pasi Ihalainen, Herman Roodenburg, Jonathan Strom, and Thomas Worcester

Free Download Preaching Better: Practical Suggestions for Homilists By Ken Untener
1999 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 0809138492 | EPUB | 1 MB
Most homilists could do better, says the author. And he should know: despite extensive experience as both homilist and homiletics professor, for four years he’s also participated in a sermon critique group. In the weekly group, the author and several other priests submit tapes and transcripts of their previous week’s sermon to each other, to a journalist, and to a systematic theologian; then all meet to discuss what works, what doesn’t, why, and how the homily can better become a part of the community’s prayer.The result is this "nuts-and-bolts" book that shows how to make any sermon better. Practical and realistic, the book explains what a homily is and what it is not, how to prepare to write, how to begin and end sermons.
