SACS at SBL: Scripture-Based Models for Preaching

What can Scripture itself teach us about preaching? How did biblical authors appropriate Scripture in their own preaching? What can we learn from the persuasive aims and rhetorical strategies of Scripture (and the speeches and sermons contained within Scripture) that might inform the practices of Christian preaching in our own time? This seminar explores these questions and others, continuing the conversation that we commenced last year. The focus is not on homiletics per se, but rather models for preaching that emerge organically from Scripture itself.
