it was amazing

St Augustine of Hippo here gives advice on preaching. 3/4 of said advice is a discussion of how to read Scripture so that one understands it and is this able to preach. I read this in preparation for my own homiletics course this coming semester, and even though St Augustine doesn't give as much practical preaching advice as one might desire, his run down of scriptural analysis is I think must read for anyone who plans to preach the Gospel, especially in light of our modern urge to separate Scripture into little microcosms.

Fr. Peter Mottola Yes, yes, yes, yes. When it comes to preaching, trust no one born after the year 1000.
