Synopsis

Modern Practical Theology: A Manual Of Homiletics, Liturgics, Poimenics, Archagics, Pedagogy, Sociology, And The English Bible is a comprehensive guidebook written by Ferdinand Schureman Schenck in 1903. The book covers a wide range of topics related to practical theology, including homiletics (the art of preaching), liturgics (the study of religious worship), poimenics (the art of pastoral care), archagics (the study of church leadership), pedagogy (the art of teaching), sociology (the study of social behavior), and the English Bible.The book is divided into seven sections, each focusing on a different aspect of practical theology. The first section, on homiletics, covers the principles of effective preaching, including the importance of understanding the audience, the use of rhetoric, and the role of the preacher in conveying the message. The second section, on liturgics, covers the history and development of religious worship, as well as the various forms of liturgy used in different denominations.The third section, on poimenics, focuses on the art of pastoral care, including counseling, spiritual direction, and the administration of the sacraments. The fourth section, on archagics, covers the principles of church leadership, including the role of the pastor, the organization of the church, and the administration of church finances.The fifth section, on pedagogy, covers the principles of teaching and learning, including the use of multimedia, the importance of active learning, and the role of the teacher in facilitating student understanding. The sixth section, on sociology, covers the principles of social behavior, including the study of social norms, group dynamics, and the impact of culture on behavior.The final section, on the English Bible, covers the history and development of the Bible, as well as the principles of biblical interpretation and the use of the Bible in preaching and teaching. Overall, Modern Practical Theology is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of practical theology, providing valuable insights for pastors, teachers, and students of religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Practical Theology is distinguished from the other branches of Theology in that it is the application of them all to the influencing of human life. Theology is the sum of our knowledge of God. Natural Theology is all we know of Ck)d from nature. Bevealed Theology is all we know of God from the Bible. Exetical and Biblical Theologies derive their knowledge from the careful study of the sacred writings. Historical Theology derives its knowledge from the dealings of Ck)d with the race of man as recorded in secular and especially in sacred and church history. Systematic Theology arranges the knowledge of God derived from all sources into a system. All these branches are concerned with knowing. Practical Theology is concerned with doing. It stimulates to knowing by placing a practical estimate upon it. It incites the ambition to be learned in order that one may be wise. It aims to utilize all the knowledge that can be acquired for the welfare of mankind. Knowing is of little worth without doing; but is of vast worth for doing. The quality of the work dex)ends upon the quality of knowing but the quality of knowing may be very fine and wort Jiless without being used. One may be a fine scholar and a great theologian, but a poor minister. Practical Theology aims to make him an equally fine and great preacher and pastor.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
