HOMILETICS (Gr. oi)Vrr oc6s, from O uXe1v, to assemble together)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 644 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HOMILETICS (Gr. oi)Vrr oc6s, from O uXe1v, to assemble together) , in theology the application of the general principles of
rhetoric
  to the specific department of public preaching. It may be further defined as the science that treats of the
analysis
 ,
classification
 , preparation,
composition
  and delivery of sermons. The formation during
recent
  years of such lectureships as the " Lyman
Beecher
  " course at Yale University has resulted in increased attention being given to homiletics, and the published volumes of this
series
  are the best contribution to the subject.
The older literature is cited exhaustively in W. G. Blaikie, For the
Work
  of the
Ministry
  (1873); and D. P. Kidder, Treatise on Homiletics (1864).
