Homiletics I. - V.
and
How To Prepare Sermons

 

 

In this course you will learn what are the various types of sermons and the mechanics of how to prepare a sermon of each type.  You will then go on to study preparation of a homily in general, including what to do and what not to do.  And, finally, you will learn how to prepare yourself for your endeavors in this field. You will use several textbooks and the course will be in multiple parts.
1. The Homiletics I. textbook is "Introduction to Homiletics" by Shawn Abigail with additional notes by Dr. T.E. VanBuskirk.
2. The How to Prepare Sermons textbook is "How to Prepare Sermons" by William Evans
3. The Homiletics II textbook is "The Theory of Preaching" by Austin Phelps, D.D.
4. The Homiletics III textbook is "Men and Books or Studies In Homiletics" by Austin Phelps, D.D.
5. The Homiletics IV textbook is "Homiletics" by W.G.T. Shedd.
6. The Homiletics V textbook is "Rhetoric, Its Theory and Practice - 'English Style In Public Discourse" by Austin Phelps, D.D. 

Homiletics I will give you the absolute basics and will be followed by How to Prepare Sermons which will expand the knowledge learned in the first course by introducing new details of how to do it.  Homiletics II will then take you into an in-depth study of the subject, in fact, it will be quite an intense study of it, including what to do and the pitfalls to avoid; and Homiletics III. will teach you how to examine, prepare, and expand your ability in this field. Homiletics IV will introduce a concise summary of the subject and Homiletics V will examine homiletical theory and practice and apply it to the "English Style In Public Discourse."

 This entire series will take you from the simple mechanics of sermon preparation to the in-depth study of the subject in progressive degrees and stages that will, together, offer you a sound and thorough knowledge of the subject and furnish you with the means for preparation to exert yourself in this field.


 Required courses:  All of the courses in this series, Homiletics I, How to Prepare Sermons, Homiletics II, and Homiletics III, are required for all students.  Homiletics IV and V are only required for some courses of study but are open to all students who want to take them.

“The greatest proof that the Bible is inspired is that it has
withstood so much bad preaching.” – A.T. Robertson

Prerequisites:  You must successfully complete the "Public Speaking" course, the "Calvinism I." course, and the First Year course, "The Bible," before you are allowed to take these courses for credit.  Also, you must successfully complete Homiletics I, How to Prepare Sermons, Homiletics II, Homiletics III, Homiletics IV, and Homiletics V in that order.  Each one is a prerequisite course for the next one in the series.


        ATTENDANCE/STUDY/TESTING REQUIREMENTS

  • STUDY:  Study only one section of each textbook at a time.  Look up every scripture referenced in the text, including those scriptures that are partially or wholly quoted, in your King James Bible unless you are specifically instructed otherwise for certain references.  Then, after meeting the 1 week per section/lesson attendance requirement, take the test at the end of each section on or after the 7th day of the week of attendance.  You may not proceed to the next section until you pass the test for the current section and have looked up the correct answers in your textbook and/or the King James Bible, whichever is appropriate, for every question answered incorrectly on the test.  This must be done for every test, pass or fail.  Your attendance requirement for the next section begins the day after you pass the test for the current section and carried out the correct answer lookup procedure for all missed questions on the current test.

    - Minimum attendance for the complete Homiletics III. course is 24 weeks.
        The Homiletics III. course is worth 3 credits.  You will be eligible to submit the Finish Sign In form and the Closed book Test Contract form on the last day of the 24th week to receive the password; and you may take the Final Test on or after the 1st day of the 25th week after your Begin Sign In date for the course.  You must keep a record of the date of your Begin Sign In for this and all other courses because you will be required to enter that date on your Finish Sign In form when you complete the course.  You will also need it on the Password Retrieval form or the Closed Book Test Contract form, whichever is required for a particular course, which you must submit in order to retrieve the Password for the Final Test.
    - Minimum attendance for the Homiletics IV and Homiletics V courses will be announced when those courses are available for study.

  • Course Record Form: Click HERE to go to a printable page, a Course Record Form, that you will use to record all necessary information about each of these courses.  Keep records for each one on its own individual copy.  You will need the information later.  If you use this form then you will have all of the required information in one place handy for use.  This form will also allow you to keep track of which lesson tests you have already successfully completed, which will serve to help you keep track of which lesson in the course you are currently studying.

  • TESTING:  Make sure you read and submit the Testing Instructions Agreement if you have not already done so.  The section tests can be taken on or after the 7th day of the minimum required week of study per lesson/section.  If tests are submitted before that time then they will be disallowed and you will have to retake them when the lesson attendance requirements have been met.  Links to the Lesson Tests are on this page.  You will return to this page to access the lesson tests and you will need to leave the lesson window open because all Lesson Tests are "open book" and you will need your textbook open in order to take your test.  Your attendance for the next lesson will begin the day after you pass the previous lesson test and have looked up all of the correct answers in your textbook or Bible, whichever is appropriate, for all question missed on the test whether you receive a passing score or not.
    ATTENTION:      If you fail a test, you MAY NOT attempt that test again on the same day.  You must restudy that section in the textbook or the Bible, whichever is appropriate, and find all of the correct answers to the questions missed and then retake the test no sooner than the next day.
