Einführung in die Homiletik

This standard work develops criteria for a contemporary culture of preaching in dialogue with the theological disciplines as well as the neighboring human and social sciences. The arguments, methods, and perspectives of homiletics—including various forms of sermon analysis—are presented in a readily comprehensible way, incorporating practical guidance and illustrations. For the third edition, the book has been thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded throughout, drawing extensively on foreign-language literature as well. Church reforms relevant to homiletics, such as the revised order of pericopes of 2018, have also been taken into account. The interdisciplinary breadth, the didactically mature format, and the theologically coherent profile of this introduction make it at once a companion study book, a reliable reference work, and a stimulating working aid.
