The unit assumes that most students will be ‘apprentice preachers’ seeking help in gaining better practical skills. An introductory overview of contemporary objections and the need for a theology of preaching lead into a study of communication skills, contrasting skilful public speaking with skilful preaching. Special emphasis is given to the distinctives of preaching, including the ‘call to preach’, the use of Scripture, the role of the Holy Spirit and the preaching context. Students are introduced to different models of preaching and to important practical steps for preaching effectively.
