THEO 6540: Preaching II: Prophetic Proclamation (2024-2025)

View all THEO classes

There is a great need in our society for preachers who can proclaim with passion and vision both what things are not of God in the world (criticizing); and the new reality God will bring to fruition in the future (energizing). Prophetic proclamation offers hope and a moral imagination of a new day and the promise of liberation for all people to reach their full God-given potential. This course will equip and empower brave, prophetic preachers to address pressing issues of justice, diversity, reconciliation, and equity facing the church and the world in the 21st century. Though it is preferable for students to take THEO 6740 Preaching: From Scripture to Sermon for prior training in homiletics, it is not a pre-requisite. This course is open to any seminary student interested in sharpening their prophetic discernment and intercultural proclamation skills. Typically offered: Spring.
