Eric J. Lehner & David M. Doran
February 13–17, 2023
Expositional Preaching of Doctrine examines the imperative for doctrinal preaching, the place of theological method in doctrinal preaching, historical approaches to preaching doctrine, and best practices in developing doctrinal expository sermons. As a result of reading, research, writing, class discussion, sermon preparation, and sermon delivery, the student will be able to articulate the rationale for doctrinal expository preaching, assess the relationship between theological method the development of doctrinal themes for preaching, evaluate the value of historical precedent for preaching doctrine in the present ministry context, and design and deliver an expository sermon series which develops a single doctrine of Scripture.
4 credit hours.
