LECTURES: Hermeneutics & Homiletics Lectures (DOWNLOADABLE with 38 audio MP3 lectures, PDF transcripts, PDF Outline & PDF Homiletics by P. Y. DeJong–required reading)

These lectures were given in a classroom seminary setting in the 1990s by Dr. Robert Grossmann. They include many student questions and practical applications.  The lectures are fully transcribed in an outline format, and also provide the professor’s outline of his class notes handed out to the students.  As these are available in pdf files, the student can print them if needed. Most students have found the transcripts and especially the outlines invaluable as they cut down substantially on the necessity of most note-taking.

TEXTBOOK: Homiletics by P. Y. DeJong

This book is required reading along with the lectures. It is available at no additional cost in PDF only to students of Reformation International Theological Seminary.  It covers the topic of the theory and practice of Reformed preaching.

This book is specifically intended to serve students in a Reformed seminary? Many of those which have appeared can be used with a measure of fruitfulness. But with only a rare exception these address themselves to only a few of the areas which demand study, reflection and discussion. Some deal somewhat exclusively with topics and themes deemed worthy of a sermon in these days; others largely with style and delivery. Too incidentally is mention made of theological foundations in redemptive history and the unique calling of Christ’s congregation in a dying world.

In an attempt to meet this need the material found in these pages was first prepared in the form of a class syllabus for students in Mid-America Reformed Seminary. Now it appears in revised form with the prayer that God our heavenly Father, who calls preachers to the holy office of “leading sinners to reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ and nurturing believers in the faith and life of the kingdom of God,” may bless this effort to the praise of the glory of his grace.
