TGC 138 — Reinhold Pieper’s Homiletics

How were Lutheran pastors before the 1950s taught homiletics? What were their go-to text books? How did they envision the task of preaching? What were the stated purposes and goals of preaching? What were the assumed prerequisites of preaching? Adam Koontz (professor of Exegetical Theology at CTSFW) and I take up these questions as we look at an obscure Lutheran from the early Twentieth Century, Reinhold Pieper. 

Dr. Koontz has written on this topic HERE.
