Overview

Excerpt from Elementary Homiletics: Or Rules and Principles in the Preparation and Preaching of Sermons Four years ago I had printed in pamphlet form some rules and notes in my department of Homiletics, for the use of students in the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Mount Airy, Philadelphia. To these notes others were added from time to time, which, with the examples given under the various rules, became sufficiently copious to appear now in book form. The book does not claim nor pretend to be a treatise on Homiletics, nor a set of lectures on the subject, in full form. That field is abundantly covered; but there seemed to be need of a textbook giving only rules and explanatory notes, which would form the basis of free lectures, which are always preferable in the department of Practical Theology, and give the instructor every opportunity to make his own additions, comments, and illustrations.
