This course examines the ways interpretation of an extended portion of scripture informs preaching, while also exploring the unique ways that preparing to preach shapes interpretation. The course will analyze and exegete texts in English and in original languages where there is aptitude. It will also engage in regular homiletic practice and reflection. This course may be repeated for credit when the topic differs. Prerequisite: BIBL 501 and BIBL 502 and BIBL 511 and BIBL 512.
