Annotation
The course provides an introduction into the homiletics. It deals with the theological foundation of preaching (why do we preach?), the task of preaching (what is it good for?), the content of preaching (what do we preach?) and its form (how do we preach?). The aim of the course is to present the actual homiletical debate and provide knowledge for a critical homiletical reflection and own homiletical production. The structure of the course:
1. Homiletics as the practical-theological discipline

5. Preaching the Old Testament

7. The preacher
