This class will be taught by O. Wesley Allen, Jr., Lois Craddock Perkins Professor of Homiletics. It is based on his 2016 book Preaching and the Human Condition.
Preachers struggle with how to acknowledge the bad news of a corrupt world, but to proclaim the good news that will eventually prevail against it. We can veer between the prosperity gospel that ignores the bad news or grace-less preaching that doesn’t do justice to the good news. This course equips preachers to proclaim how God’s good news addresses the human condition, and to preach genuine Christian hope amid the realities of human striving and suffering.
