The purpose of this thesis-project was to analyze the question: 'Will selected ministers' skills in interpreting and in communicating God's Word improve through an increased understanding of the various literary genres of the Bible?' This writer theorized that a preacher's homiletical skills would increase when exposed to an understanding of the various biblical genres. The theory evolved into the development of a survey-style seminary course taught at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. The data collected from the test instruments administered during the course supported this writer's theory. Chapter 1 of this thesis-project presented the problem and its setting. The problem was the need for a survey-style preaching course from the perspective of the biblical genres, and the setting for the thesis-project was the Leveall College of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary located in Decatur, Georgia. Chapters 2 and 3 detailed the theological framework for this thesis-project. The framework included an understanding of expository preaching, holistic interpretation of the Scriptures, and the incorporation of the biblical genres into the art of expository preaching. Chapter 4 presented the literature review for this thesis project. Sidney Greidanus's The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text served as the skeletal foundation for this thesis-project. Chapter 5 detailed the implementation of the project, the teaching of a new survey-style preaching course. Chapter 6 presented the conclusions and future recommendations derived from this thesis project.
