978-0-8146-3715-9 (ISBN)
Scirghi begins with a discussion of the purpose of preaching and offers a theological sounding on proclamation, taking up several descriptions of the role of the preacher in relation to the congregation. He also addresses current theological issues for the contemporary preacher. The second part of the book discusses the practical matter of preparing to preach and proposes a method of preparation by following a pattern of reflection, research, writing, and rehearsing. The third part focuses on two specific sacramental celebrations: funeral and weddings.
Thomas J. Scirghi, SJ, is associate professor of theology at Fordham University, New York. He teaches courses and workshops on preaching for priests, deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers around the world.
