Also, a number of Sunday mornings are also “special days” in the church calendar, and sometimes in the secular calendar, too.  Course material will begin with weddings and funerals, then continue through the calendar both sacred and secular (i.e., Ash Wednesday, Independence Day), including even First Sunday in a New Pulpit.  The course will conclude with insights on preaching a sermon series.  Textbooks: 1. James F. Kay, Seasons of Grace 2. Long and McCarter, Preaching In and Out of Season 3. Fleming Rutledge, The Bible and the New York Times  Course Requirements 1. Regular attendance in class sessions, and involvement in discussion and critiquing. 2. Reading of assigned materials. 3. Oral: 1) 4-5 minute wedding homily, deliver in class, without manuscript or notes. 2) 8-10 minute communion homily/meditation/sermon 3) 13-16 minute talk for a secular group, delivered in class.  Specifics of this talk will be assigned later.  4.Written: 1) 2-3 page review of Seasons of Grace.  I’m seeking your reaction to the material rather than a summary of what the book is about.  Due Sept 26 2) 5-6 page paper comparing and contrasting four sermons from Achtemeier, Preaching as Theology and Art. (on reserve) from the list below, with any four sermons from Rutledge, The Bible and the New York Times. Consider especially these questions: Did the sermon do justice to the occasion (that is, the special day or season), revealing its importance and its spiritual significance?  2 PR750 Preaching for Special Occasions – continued (Professor J. Ellsworth Kalas)   Would this sermon appeal to an occasional churchgoer, the kind of person who might attend only on Easter, Christmas, or Mother’s Day?                         Did the sermon interest, influence, or inspire you?    The Achtemeier sermons:     Advent: “Of Repentance and Captivity”     Epiphany:  “On Living in Reality”     Lent: “The Journey – the Choice”     Eastertide: “Dealing with the Final Foe”     Pentecost: “The Easy Yoke”   This paper will be Due October 31.  3) 5-7 page paper developing either a Lenten or an Advent sermon series.  In your paper, please include, for each sermon: - A title - A scripture lesson - A brief summary of your idea, and how you would expect to develop it in the sermon.                           If this is an Advent series, plan four sermons; if a Lenten series, seven, including Easter.  This paper will be Due December 3.

Ellsworth Kalas    Office:  Beeson 217 Ellsworth Kalas@asburyseminary.edu  Office hours: Office telephone:  (859) 858-2247         By appointment SPO:  793  Spring, 2004      PR702:  TR, 1:00 – 2:15  Prerequisites:  PR610 and basic Bible courses  It is the conviction of your professor that all preaching should be biblical preaching.  The Bible is our basic document, and our tradition, experience, and logic flow from it.  In a sense, therefore, this course in Expository Preaching is nothing other than an expansion of PR610.  Specifically, however, it is a study of preaching that concentrates on the careful examination of a single passage of scripture.  And while topical preaching might be considered in a course like PR610, it will not have a place in this course.  PR702 is composed of lectures, discussion, and laboratory.  During the laboratory time, each student will preach three sermons.  Each sermon will be critiqued by both the professor and class members.  TEXTS:   Robert Alter, Genesis   Kalas, Preaching from the Soul   Long, Preaching and the Literary Forms of the Bible   Lowry, The Homiletical Plot  COURSE ASSIGNMENTS:  1. Beginning February 11, read one chapter daily from Alter’s Genesis.  My hope is that this reading will stimulate  your expository and homiletical responses, whether from the passage itself, the commentary, or your own background knowledge.  On the dates listed below, turn in not more than one double space page reporting on an insight from a specific chapter that had not occurred to you  before.  You don’t have to have a full homiletical application; just an insight that might someday develop into a sermon or a unit within a sermon or even simply an illustration.  February 12:  Genesis 1  February 17:  Genesis 2, 3, 4, or 5  February 19:  Genesis 6 or 7   February 24:  Genesis 8, 9, l0, 11, or 12  February 26:  Genesis 13 or 14  2. March 18:  A paper of 3 – 4 pages, comparing two studies of conventional expository preaching by two masters in the British tradition, G. Campbell Morgan and Martyn Lloyd-Jones.  Read chapters 1 and 6 in The Heart and Holiness of God, and compare with “Beginning to Understand” and “Self-Examination” in Vol. XI, 20 Centuries of Great Preaching.  What appeals to you in each?  What do you (in all humility!) feel could have been done better?  How attractive would this preaching be for a 21st century audience?  Give specific references for what you say.  3. April 20:  A paper of 3 – 4 pages comparing examples of narrative preaching.  Read two sermons by John Jasper, “The Stone Cut Out of the Mountain,” and “The Sun Do Move,” in Vol. IV, 20 Centuries of Great Preaching, and any three sermons from New Testament Stories from the Back Side.  Though the two preachers are roughly two centuries apart in time, and still farther separated in culture patterns and audiences, what do the sermons have in common?  How true are they to their texts?  In what ways are they, or are they not, expository?  Give examples for the conclusions you reach.  4. May 13:  A paper of 6 – 8 pages, with three sermon ideas that you might develop in the phrase-by-phrase style, and three that you might develop in narrative style.  ORAL WORK:  You will preach three times in the course of the semester, for the class.  The first sermon, more of a homily, will be 5 – 6 minutes, on an assigned verse.  This sermon will be delivered without notes or manuscript.  The second sermon, 17 – 19 minutes, will be on a passage of your choosing, in the style of line- by-line or phrase-by-phrase exposition.     The third sermon, also 17 – 19 minutes, and also on a text of your own choosing, will be developed in the narrative style.  BASIS FOR GRADING:  Written work:  approximately 50 per cent.  Oral sermons:  approximately 45 per cent.  Classroom participiation:  approximately 5 per cent.
