While admitting particular parameters and priorities for Roman Catholic preachers, this volume was intentionally envisioned as a handbook for "catholic" preaching in the broadest and most universal sense of that term. Cosponsored by the Catholic Academy of Liturgy, the Catholic Association of Teachers of Homiletics, and the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions, it covers the role of the Scriptures in preaching, the challenges of preaching in a digital age, sermonizing in an interfaith context, and the need for a liberative and prophetic word that cuts across denominations and even faith traditions.

'A very useful summary list of sources used by Ælfric... an essential companion to the two volumes.' -Years Work in English Studies 'From each visit, the reader carries away a richer total understanding of Ælfric the intellectual, teacher, or translator. As it places so conveniently in the hands of a wide audience the materials necessary for any informed reading of the Homilies, this book alone will greatly facilitate future work on Ælfric.' -Medium Ævum 'Scholars owe a twofold debt to Malcolm Godden for this book, important both for its own sake, as a research tool, and for the milestone it signals: completion of a long-needed critical edition of Ælfric's Old English Catholic Homilies.' -Medium Ævum 'Godden's Introduction, Commentary, and Glossary brings a triumphant closure to a project that will be of immense value for years to come. Ælfric is fortunate in his editors.' -Notes and QueriesCompanion volume to SS 5 and SS 17, completing the set

This work is the second volume in the Melville Studies in Church History. Kupke focuses on the piety of the Catholics in the Anglo-American colonies in the eighteenth century, specifically around the time of John Carroll, the founder of the American Catholic hierarchy. Through the exploration of sermons of eighteenth century Jesuit missionaries in Maryland, the author analyzes the spirituality of the Catholics in this time period. Kupke's work is a valuable and interesting contribution to the study of the roots of the Catholic church in America. A must read for all those interested in American preaching, spirituality, Jesuit history, and Maryland colonial history as well. Co-published with the Department of Church History at the Catholic University of America.
A great preacher understands the power of God's Word and knows how to communicate that power in the most effective way possible. With The Sacred Conversation: The Art of Catholic Preaching and the New Evangelization priests will be renewed in their mission to preach the Gospel and equipped to do so with practical advice from Fr. Joseph Mele. Fr. Mele surveys the current norms in Catholic preaching and supplies helpful background on the Church' s most recent teaching on the subject. Paying special attention to the needs of the lay faithful, Fr. Mele then provides priests with the "nuts and bolts" of homiletics to ensure their preaching penetrates the hearts of those in the pews. An essential ...
