A Manual Of Homiletics And Catechetics

By Ignaz Schuech

Book Overview

A Manual of Homiletics and Catechetics, written by Ignaz Schuech and originally published in 1894, is a comprehensive guide for preachers and catechists. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with homiletics, which is the art of preaching, and the second part deals with catechetics, which is the art of teaching the principles of the Christian faith.In the first part, Schuech covers a wide range of topics related to preaching, including the nature and purpose of preaching, the preparation and delivery of sermons, the use of language and style, and the importance of adapting sermons to the needs and abilities of the audience. He also provides practical advice on how to deal with difficult topics and how to engage listeners in meaningful ways.The second part of the book focuses on catechetics, which involves teaching the fundamental beliefs and practices of Christianity to children and adults. Schuech covers topics such as the nature of catechesis, the role of the catechist, the use of Scripture and tradition in teaching, and the importance of adapting lessons to the needs and abilities of the learners. He also provides examples of lesson plans and activities that can be used in a variety of settings.Overall, A Manual of Homiletics and Catechetics is a valuable resource for anyone involved in preaching or teaching the Christian faith. Schuech's insights and practical advice are still relevant today, more than a century after the book was first published.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
