THEOLOGY OF PREACHING

Essays on Vision and Mission in the Pulpit
edited by Gregory Heille,OP
It is high time that preachers think seriously and creatively about their theological vision and
ministerial mission in the pulpit.In this book,you are invited into the diverse theological and
pastoral worlds of eight dedicated preachers,seven Catholics and an Episcopalian:a deacon
recently retired from university teaching in London,a priest beginning her ministry in West
Missouri,a Nigerian priest studying in the United States,another priest in campus ministry at
Iowa State University,a concert vocalist in Indiana pursuing a lay ecclesial vocation to pastoral
ministry,an itinerant Redemptorist preacher from the Bronx,a diocesan pastor and vocation
director from Pennsylvania,and a rural Catholic pastor and chaplain for a children ’s home in
North Dakota.
Together,these essayists are members of a wisdom community of full-time ministers
pursuing the Doctor of Ministry in Preaching degree in a one-of-a-kind blend of on-line
learning and face-to-face seminars at Aquinas Institute of Theology,St Louis,Missouri.
Gregory Heille,OP,is Promoter of Preaching for the Dominican Province of St Albert the
Great,USA,and Associate Professor of Homiletics and Director of the Doctor of Ministry in
Preaching Program at Aquinas Institute of Theology,St Louis,Missouri (www.ai.edu).
