Non-pulpit Preaching: Homiletics in Popular Culture

3 credits · Divinity School

Preaching is not simply a Sunday morning, pulpit-based activity. Whenever cultural, political, or communal artifacts (films, video games, songs, books, poetry, speeches, documents, spoken word, visual art, etc.) contain messages that interpret the events or ideas referenced in biblical texts theologically in relation to lived experience, "homiletics" is involved. In this course, students will learn to discover, analyze, and create such artifacts. [3]
