Session Description
Writing in the first handbook for preachers, St. Augustine concludes there is nothing more important for a preacher than becoming "a living sermon," a person whose life and speech embodies God's self - communicative goodness and love. Yet only the inexhaustibly generous self - giving of the Triune God, the Word spoken by the Father and the Son in the Spirit, is capable of transforming our human capacities for homiletic excellence that is evinced by keen intellect, deep piety, and virtuous action within the living communion of the Church.

We Speak Because We Have Been Spoken: A "Grammar" of the Preaching Life
Writing in the first handbook for preachers, St. Augustine concludes there is nothing more important for a preacher than becoming "a living sermon," a person whose life and speech embodies God's self - communicative goodness and love. Yet only the inexhaustibly generous self - giving of the Triune God, the Word spoken by the Father and the Son in the Spirit, is capable of transforming our human capacities for homiletic excellence that is evinced by keen intellect, deep piety, and virtuous action within the living communion of the Church.
