Publishing a Better Homiletical Textbook

摘要

Preaching, homiletics, sermon preparation, and effective church communication is an oft published topic by religious publishing houses and by academic publishing houses. This study, based on all three major branches of Christianity, found that preaching practitioners considered preaching textbooks to be woefully inadequate in teaching homiletical skills. Only by incorporating new sections on needed skills will the homiletical textbook once again become an effective tool of education.
